    Tim covered all of that stuff pretty well, except he left out one thing that BOTH of us do when it’s really cold out. That windproof outer shell still has wristcuffs, a neck opening, and of course the whole waist area…and zippers, pockets, etc. All of those let in stray air currents. If you add a windproof/resistant INNER layer, it blocks those from getting to your core, and adds a huge degree of extra warmth. I have a Mountain Hardware shirt that goes close to my skin that I love. A good windblocking vest can help, too. Or, if you happen to golf and want to save some money (and don’t mind looking like a dork while you’re getting dressed in the lodge), a golf windshirt works extremely well. It’ll help you when you’re going downhill, when you’re on the lift, and even when you’re just standing around. Give it a try!
