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.

We haven't seen an issue with it being hot or too warm. But, remember, it's still rather chilly here in Wisconsin at night, and we find it very comfortable! I will say, seeing as I run "warm" and appreciate cooler temps, I haven't had any problem feeling too warm at night! Maybe a bit early for us to judge that until the evenings warm up.....but so far, very comfortable!

I wear this Jacket for running and biking. It is my go to jacket for both between 30 - 65 degrees. I wear the Pearl iZUMi Men's Select Barrier Wxb Jacket for anything colder than 30 degrees but it does not breath as well.

I am a 54 regular in a jacket size and I fit comfortably in the XL, however I do not wear on the outside of my regular hunting clothes. Depending on the region your hunting in really dictates where your comfort level will be. I wear a long sleeve tee and thermal bottoms under my HECS to help wick perspiration in warmer weather. Beyond that you can layer as the weather in your region dictates. Happy Hunting.

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with getting too hot while wearing it but it's also been on the colder side where I live. But I have worn it inside my house which we usually keep about 70-72degrees and I didn't get hot. Hope that helped

This is one of the less puffy down jackets I tried on. I am always cold as well and this has kept me warmer this extremely cold winter in MN!

I wear mine in the Atlanta area and have had no problems with being hotter while wearing this. It does run small for a man though.

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

Being from Florida I am not tolerate of cold at all. If you live in a cold water region you might be more accustomed to the chill. But for me these pants work fine until temps drop to 65-68 degrees. I also like the coverage from wind and stinging things. Hope this helps.

My husband is always cold, so for him no, but I am always to warm, so for me, I wouldn't want to wear it if the temp is 90 degrees out and humid, but otherwise it is a truly nice jacket, well made.

It's fine for the Pacific Northwest, in fact too warm during the early fall, but perfect during winter. Good luck with your decision!

We live in Central California where temps can exceed 100 degrees. We haven't had any problems being warmer.

The jacket is made of a very soft outer material, and does not appear to be extremely tough. It is lightweight, does not feel heavy, although the jacket is very warm. The lining is visible on the inside as shinny panels. I have a cheaper Down Jacket that I purchased at Sam's years ago that is similar, although it is more comfortable. I never get too hot in that jacket, and I never get cold in our East Tennessee Winters. This Columbia Jacket will probably be warmer and especially useful in colder climates. Wearing it inside only so far, I got hot in a hurry! I also purchased a Carhart Down Jacket that does have a shell made of a much tougher material, but not quite as rough or coarse as the normal Carhart jacket. The Columbia one has a lot of nice features, and I think that I am going to like it.

5+ is the survival rating. I've been down to about 20 degrees with a base layer and wool hat and been just fine. Bet I would have been ok at 10 degrees.

Yes. We live in Minnesota and it keeps the bedroom toasty warm even at 25 below.

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!

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.
