Glad to see so many topics about sit skiing!
There's some crazy cold weather here in Europe at the moment and I'm thinking that maybe what I wore last year for sit skiing might not be warm enough this time around. My main concern is of course the lower body... I usually wear a thin but warm baselayer pant, thick snowboarding socks, snowboarding pants and some high boots. All of it then gets covered by the Tessier polyamide nylon cover, which is wind/waterproof.
What do you guys wear?
I'm a bit limited with space, as the Tessier seat fits pretty tight. As it should!

It is extremely cold now in Bulgaria in fact the coldest winter in my life. I found that only down jacket and pants can do the job.
Also merino wool underwear for the first layer.

I go for merino wool base then use cycling winter thermals (with bib) as they cover the base of the back which can sometimes get exposed. As they are tight fiting they compress the base layers in so that you can still fit in a sit ski bucket. On my top I use winter rash long sleeve top from surfing. Then I have have ski trousers made for me by PHD Designs from Manchester. They only cost £150 which is the same as a decent set of ski trousers, They are long in the leg, come up high at the back, are tight fitted to the leg and have extra lining on the front of the legs. Much better to get them purpose made, and I do not get cold at all, even down to -35oCelcius (but then my eyes start to freeze so I tend to head in).
