I live in North Dakota where weather can easily be -20 or -25 F. Some of the reviews talk about how warm this jacket is. Any from my temp area?

I live in north central Florida and feel at times that it isn't as warm as I'd like it to be...

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems.

I love mine, Marne but I live in Texas so I haven't put it thru really cold weather. I just returned from Colorado. They had one similar at hotel and it was great.

I live in Buffalo, NY and I fully intend to.. Plenty of warm. It is LIGHT, not thin. Light does not mean it will not keep you warm!

-20F is very cold. That said, I have worn it as a sweater in +10F in the wind and with another longer winter coat over it I was very warm. A lot depends on wind chill, hat and gloves.

This vest is good for mild weather only, I wear this with a T-shirt or shirt. Bought this for the ample pockets and it's light weight not for the warmth which it does not provide. Temperature range for me would be 60's and up, hope this helps.

I live in South Texas and keep ours on our back porch. While I can't really speak to cold, I am pretty sure that it gets a bit more hot here. With a west exposure and temps up to 110' it has held up fine.

It's great just get one size bigger than you normally would and you'll have enough room for 2 thinner or 1 thick layer underneath. Its very lightweight. I'm not sure about how warm it is in extreme cold though because I just bought it.

Denise...actually our daughter wore her Columbia jacket to the ski slope only a couple of days after getting it...and it performed fantastic for her...I specifically asked her if it kept her warm AND dry and she said " Yes Daddy , and I love it! " And since she no doubt spent some time on the ground , being pretty much a beginner , I'd say her Columbia more than exceeded expectations...this especially pleased me since she had originally thought she wanted a NF jacket and I assured her that Columbia had been in the business and doing it well for a very long time...she has been thrilled with her Columbia !

So far I haven't had an issue with the cold. I like in northern North Dakota and it's worked great so far. Battery life is a bit shorter but I get the rechargeable batteries

its the best hot weather jacket I've used. I rode in San Antonio and it kept me relatively cool even in 100F temps.

So far the coldest it has gotten where I live is low 50's and has stuck with no problems. I don't know about the winter yet, but don't foresee an issue.

We live in Nebraska and it gets very cold here, never have had any issues with it at all.

At 20F i would wear a underskirt, t-shirt and a thin fleece under the jacket. But then you are well prepared for a longer stay. If its stormy you need a gore-tex jacket over it.

I believe it's warm regardless of any weather. I live in detroit michigan and it's now 19 degrees and I have the insert rolled down to the bottom of my bed because it can get too warm sometimes. I hope you like it and it works well for you : )

All I can really say is that the jacket runs approx a size small. I usually wear a large but ordered X-Large and it fits perfect.I am about 20 lbs heavier than you and like I said the XL is perfect for me..I love the jacket ..It is beautiful and very warm. Just had -20 degree weather hereand it was nice and toasty..Love it.

Yeah I have this out in temps in the low 20's with a good ole Kansas north wind so it was colder than that with the wind chill figured in.

I'm 5'1 and 110. I'm wearing it right now as I write. I don't think it looks puffy at all. Fits well and very warm. Don't need to layer under it. You can probably wear a T-shirt and this jacket in 20 degrees and be warm. Hope this was helpful.
