Howdy. I'm looking for a new ski jacket for the coming season. I've had a North Face jacket with shell and zipped inner layer that has worked well, but is starting to show wear and tear.
I'm looking at the Arc Sabre, but have never used a hard shell before. What would be the lowest and highest comfortable temps, if I were wearing the Sabre with just a t-shirt on underneath? I typically ski in California and Canada, but will probably be skiing the Rockies again, in the near future. I hit the slopes at Big Sky, in 2020, when it was -9 F /-22.7 C and my NF jacket kept me warm enough.
And just out of curiosity, is the Arc Sabre a jacket you can wear around town or is too gear heavy to wear on a walk to the store?
