    Burton Ak and fleece

    Reply Quote
    I'm planning to go to Whistler this year during Christmas and I have the analog chapel jacket and the AK jussi anarak jacket, I was wondering would i need a fleece with those two jacket? I was thinking about wearing base layer and that tech flanel that burton had under the jacket. SHould I buy a fleece to add on to what i'm planning to wear?

    How tolerant of cold are you? I don't know about the Chapel, but the Jussi has no insulation. I guess if you're part bear you might be able to cut it with only a base layer and tee underneath, but I'd suggest picking up a fleece. It's always better to overdress so you can take layers off to get comfortable. You're kinda screwed if you go up without enough on and you're left being cold.

    I usually wear a fleece under my AK Jacket... and it can still be a bit cold on the lifts.

    Do you need a fleece?  Perhaps, but I'd say take one to be safe.  You'd rather be warm than cold.  Cannot comment on the Chapel for it's warmth, but I know the Jussi is a very light jacket and during midseason you definitely want a fleece under that.

    are you retarded? isn't your chapel warmer than your jussi because its insulated? you know that "fleece" comes in a variety of thicknesses/warmth right? are you sure you are smart enough to survive outside in the cold?

    Actually it does the complete opposite.
