Colmar

A shell is a weather barrier, waterproof, windproof and breathable, with little or no insulation, designed to go over layers you choose for the conditions. A down jacket is the insulation itself, warm but less able to handle sustained wet. Shells suit changeable weather and hard effort where you overheat; down suits standing still in dry cold. Many pieces combine the two, holding insulation inside a treated outer face.

Roomy enough for a base and mid layer, without so much slack that warm air escapes. Raise your arms: the hem should not lift far and the cuffs should stay past the wrist. Trousers want length to cover a boot and enough room through the seat and thigh to sit comfortably on a lift. A hood should turn with your head rather than against it, which is why helmet-compatible hoods are cut deeper.
