How much insulation somebody needs varies greatly from person to person. I'm a furnace when I start moving, so even down to -40 skiing last winter in Quebec I used a light polypro baselayer and my Arc'teryx Sabre pants (only lightly fleeced inside). In BC I doubt I'd even wear the long baselayer half the time. I'd suggest just trial and error for the first time out this season - see how warm or cold you are and buy layers based on that.
I know I'm an insufferable gear snob but if you ask me not fully taping every seam is just lazy/cheap on the part of the manufacturers. Out of all my hiking/mountaineering/ski gear I don't think I have a single piece of critically taped waterproof gear because quite simply if it's not fully taped or welded - the garment itself is not actually competely waterproof... Particularly with mini-tape keeping down bulk and improving breathability nowadays there's really no reason other than cost to not have a garment with fully taped or welded seams.
