What is the minimum temperature the jacket can withstand? Need someting really warm in Canada...

I can say New York winter storm in December. It is the best purchase I've made for my grandson. Canada is cold in winter and also very windy . This jacket resists wind the best. At any point you have to use extra protection there and it is so spacious inside that a big sweater fits perfectly.

Im in chicago and last winter was very cold i was very warm in -15 F. When i shoveled snow it got really warm. So it really depends on how much activity you plan on doing in it.

I can say I was comfortable in this jacket with a long-sleeved t-shirt on underneath while boarding in a high of -2 F (not factoring in the wind chill I was making going down the slopes). I probably wouldn't count on it for too much lower than that, but it is surprisingly warm for how thin and light it is.

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

By themselves, not very. What's your definition of cold? And what would you be wearing? Street clothes or snowsuit with thermal base layer? Bottom line, if you're just casually prepared, I would say 40's or 50's overnight, with heat loss through ground contact being the major concern. If you have skills and getting through the night was your priority, you could make it work at any temperature above freezing. By skills, I mean actual cold weather training, not wishful thinking.

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.

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

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

Depends on where you live. Recommended Temperature range: 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit

I slept in it @ 12° with another bag over it and it perfomed fine, the coldest i went with the bag by itself was around 24° and i did get a little chilled, but not cold by any means. Keeps you very warm around 30°. With any bag you buy, its always a good rule of thumb to use 10° under your climate. ie- if you're going to be camping when it's mostly 40° outside, buy a 30° bag. Sometimes a good fleece sleeping bag liner helps as well.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

For that temp range mid-weight would be way too much for me. I would go for several light layers. Your insulation needs will vary widely during hiking, resting etc. so it will be the old story of layer up and layer down.

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'm in Canada and I've had it working fine from 25° to -20° degrees Celsius. I'll check it later and see if it has any printing on it about temperatures.

My husband uses it as a summer jacket. We live in the desert. It gets over 100 F

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.

This is the best Columbia jacket I've ever owned. I absolutely love the material and it certainly keeps me warm in our -40 degree weather here in WY that we have some winters, like this one! It is a great coat all in all!!

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.
