This jacket is snug and warm - the only sign of wear is some pilling on the inside of the waist band- there is no pilling on the outside so you really can’t even see it. Multiple pockets pictured and out and also a place for headphones to come through. This jacket can definitely be for skiiing! Though there is no hood- you’d need a hat. It’s also a stylish super warm jacket in earthy plaid just to go with jeans and boots. Real functional quality here and super warm!
