Replying to Layers in the backcountry

Shell + mid + base layers VS. throw your normal ski jacket in your bag for the ride down?

Gloves on the way up? Waterproof? Water resistant? Do you just wear liners?

Wet + numb hands during a companion rescue are not ideal... most gloves I've looked at so far that are waterproof have little to no dexterity so that doesn't help either



Also where do you keep your water? Bladder hose usually freezes. Stopping every 20 minutes to pull the bottle out of the bag gets a bit annoying...
