Should i buy a ski jacket for travelling?

Question

so i'm going on a round the world trip. its hard to pack for such a trip, as I will probably come across places with cold climates as well as warm climates.

I was thinking for places with cold climates, i should just buy myself a ski jacket. Aren't they really light but really warm? If a ski jacket can keep skiers warm in the snow, it should be enough to keep me warm in most places i go right? Would that be the only clothing i would need?

Answer 1

yes, buy it just in case you come across some cold weather.if you have a back pack you can pack it also if the weather is warm.

Answer 2

Depends on when you are going (and remember it is winter in the southern hemisphere during June, July, Aug).  I would aim for a rain, wind- proof jacket that is not too bulky since you usually carry stuff and walk a lot when you travel.  Some jackets have a removable liner so you have more versatility from one jacket.  I would recommend one with a hood too so that you don't have to carry an umbrella in case it rains.

Answer 3

yes
