Is this as warm as a good down jacket?

Not as warm but if you put on a sweater and undershirt it will keep you nicely. If you are outside alot in 20 degree weather you would need to put on an extra layer for sure. I bought a polar fleece hood that I wear with my coat and if I have that on I am just perfect with warmth. the hood is really just a wind, snow and rain blocker. My other down coat had a very warm hood and I did miss that warmth, but when I started wearing the fleece hood I know longer missed it and I could see more easily.

I find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

I was very warm during 4 and 5 degrees temperatures in Paris. I think layers would be needed for freezing temperatures eg fleece coats sweaters etc.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

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 do not know. It is warm. It served its purpose. I wouldnt recommend it though.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

In short, I would say it will be too warm. However, because it takes up so little space and is a quality sleeping bag, take it anyway. For warmer nights bring a thin blanket and use the sleeping bag as a mattress.

Pretty warm. I'm fairly comfortable, but my husband says it's too hot. We live in San Diego, CA...coldest it gets is low 40s. We only use in the fall/winter.

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 .

The jacket is pretty thin so it doesn't provide very much additional warmth. It is water tight and pretty wind resistant so it does cut down a bit on wind chill, but the jacket is no substitute for layering or a heavier coat if you plan on using it in cold temperatures.

Fits just fine - like a down comforter but doesn't shift around so much. No tiny feathers everywhere. Very warm

It's not what I would think of as micro-fleece, however I'm not an expert. To me it's "slippery" due to the sheen of the fabric, and it is the exact same on both sides....It's not what I would say is a warm feeling but acceptable.

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 don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

It's good for both. However I would say it is prettier than it is warm. But I am always cold.

It provides a respectable amount of warmth for what it is (a rain jacket, not a coat). Throw on a couple layers under this jacket and you're good to go. I've worn this in non-rain, less than 40 degree (F) conditions and it's kept me warm with some layering.

Yeah it was warm and comfortable. Not extremely heavy but it will keep you warm for sure. Just be careful when washing it because it falls apart.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.
