Hi all, how durable (for daily use with a pack on) I am considering this as a standalone/mid layer piece to wear during the winters in Toronto.

I wouldn't trust it with a pack rubbing directly against it for an extended period of time. The shell is not durable.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

It works just fine for me during the winter months when I'm wearing a long sleeve. It's adjustable via velcro so you can have it as tight or loose as you'd like. Only bad thing is that there's no protection against rain. Hope this helps.

Ah, I honestly don't know! I live in Las Vegas so I unfortunately don't get to wear enough. I bought it for my trip to Ireland which I took in march and it withstood the weather fantastically! At first I would wear xtra layers underneath but quickly found out it wasn't necessary! It would get hot quick! But it's a fantastic fantastic jacket that I wish I could wear more often! Hope this helps!

Its a good layering weight. I use mine in the Fall and early Spring when its crisp.

Eh... It depends. It would be great for hiking or being on foot in cold, windy weather. This question came at a good time. I just now walked through the door from a motorcycle ride. It's 12 degrees (F) here today. Around town, the product does very well. It's comfortable an my face stays warm. Above 40mph, the wind overcomes it and my face gets cold. I really love this thing, but if you're looking at sustained high/freezing winds, you may want something a bit more substantial.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

My dog did well with the backpack. My only concern is if the weather is really hot as I would want more breathability in the pack. But for cooler or moderate weather I would highly reccommend this pack.

Not sure I understand the question. As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it. I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma. Hope that helped.

I live in Michigan and I dress in layers (flannel shirt over hoodie over sweatshirt over long sleeve t-shirt) when it is cold outside. When the temp is in the 30 degree range it MIGHT be somewhat snug.

My gf wore it while skiing this winter and worked perfect. She's also worn it running. It fits just like a backpack.n

Hi I wore it all winter in Wisconsin, but needed to have layers. My son plays hockey and it worked well for that but if I was going to be outside for a bit I needed something a bit heavier. I love the jacket, but wish the hood wasn't so flaky (it never stayed up). It does run small-I needed to order a size bigger than what I did.

This would work for snowmobiling, but it might not be heavy enough for way lower temperatures. I live in a fairly mild climate (35-40f lows to 75-80f highs). I use the jacket solely for motorcycle riding, and just because it has armored shoulders, elbows, and back. If it's 35f at night, even with the liner, it's a little cold. For snowmobiling, I'd say get a size or two larger than you wear and wear layers underneath. Watch out, though, this jacket runs a bit on the small side (if you wear a large, get an XL or XXL).

I am just shy of 6ft tall and have the 2XL long. If you are a thin person I would recommend the medium. If you are a bit larger build, I would recommend a size large or even extra large depending on what the size around, that needs to be covered. I am not a small person and the 2 XL long is more than large enough for me. The jacket is fairly lightweight and I would not recommend it for very cold weather. Other than that, it is a great jacket and very durable. Mine still looks almost new and it is the jacket I wear way more than any other jacket I have.

I believe it is to a degree. It fleece, but I typically wear it with a hood in the snow. I imagine you'd be fine unless you went out in the rain .

I consider this a three-season jacket. It's lightweight enough to wear in the spring and fall, and warm enough to wear in pretty cold weather. I live in southern Maine, if that gives you an idea. For really cold weather (below 25 F) I will usually wear something a little heavier and longer with a hood to cover my head and legs too, but this is pretty great for all but the coldest weather, I think.
