Skiing in a wool jacket?

I don't really know how to wear anything but peacoats.
Plus nylon reminds me of when I was in the hospital having a bad dream on morphine and I was stuck on the ceiling with my back at a 90 degree angle, nightmare on elm street style.
And it feels like sandpaper.

So, wooly peacoats plus skiing = wet and cold?
or warm and toasty?

its going to be better than cotton since it keeps you warm when its wet but its heavy expensive
level one has a hoodie thats made out of wool and the story kinda weird

More like moist and lukewarm. Definitely not something you want as an outer layer. Definitely underneath a jacket on cold days.
