Does anyone find that the sewn-through design is a negative feature that makes for cold spots?

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

I have not had that happen to me and I live in ND so have experienced a lot of cold weather this winter. However I have only had the dog for 1 year - this being the first winter. We have 3 large dogs that are constantly going in and out as well - love this door!

I don't think so. It's a problem for me, too. I just keep a dark cloth across the front. It's a shame; I do wish there was a way to dim it.

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

I've not had any difficulty with denim. Just today, I sewed Suede, the machine handled it without any problem. The button holing is super easy. They come out really nice. The largest I've done is a little over an inch. I've still not used all 30 of its stitch capability. I recently made photography backgrounds for my wife's photo business. Different weights of fabric were used. No problems on any of them.

Mine didn't last one whole (first) winter either. I'm guessing the glue or whatever gave because an entire seam just came undone.

Yes, I just washed it on cold and let it dry flat. I didn't notice ill effects aside from the strap getting a little tangled.

We have the same issue. I was thinking about ironing the felt on a low setting and seeing if that helped.

Yes, I was concerned about that too, because it is my fingertips that get very cold. These liner heat very quickly also. I wear gloves over the top because these are just liners. I use them on my ATV for snowplowing, and they work perfect. This is my first season with them, and they have held up great so far.

I haven't had any problems, however, I'm very careful when sewing with fabrics such as heavy denim, using extra caution when sewing over the multi-layered seams. The machine does not skip stitches and I am very happy with the quality of the stitching.

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

I've had mine for a long time and the same thing happened. What I did is to get a couple of large back to back velcro pieces and it seems to stay. You can also get some heavy duty super strength glue to hold the bottom velcro piece just make sure it isn't flammable. Regardless of the problem with the gooey velcro fall offs this toastie tush has saved my tush from freezing many mornings, lol. Good Luck

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

Not at all! I did find that I needed to run WARM water over it before I sat on it thought - otherwise really COLD!

No not at all. It has clips that pop the top off. Kind of difficult in cold weather, but you can also squeez your torso in the opening if you are not a big guy....otherwise top pops off. Good luck!

I have had a number of models. They redesign them every year it seems. Some of them do get a little warm but never had a problem with that.

Not really, the insulation is spotty and doesn't maintain heat well in too cold of temperatures.
