the shell is just the outer water/wind proof part that is not warm at all unless you wear layers under it

insulated jackets have like down or some synthetic insulation in them. theyre "puffy." wearing like a fleece and a shell is like wearing just an insualted jacket.

its all preferenct. r you a person who likes to be really nice and warm when you ski? or are you someone who dosent really like or need to wear a lot of clothes? its up to you.you will have to wear more layers with a shell. but you will need none or less with an insulated jacket. cuz it will keep you warm itself
