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 )

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

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.

Yes, it is extremely soft and warm like flannel. My grandson slept in it again last night. If that is what you are looking for, you will absolutely love it.

Yes. I wore it in 40 degrees with a windbreaker and was fine. It's full zip, but those sleeves will toast you. Plus the collar. Don't.

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

This comforter is pretty lightweight in the sense it is not a heavy, but it is warm. I love this comforter, so I would order it anyway. You could always use it later if you find it to be too warm.

It is heavy enough. It is ultra warm class and heavier than ordinary down comforters.

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.

TA,This coat is not quite as puffy as a typical down jacket, but it appears similar and it definitely has the thickness typical of a cold weather winter jacket. It is very flexible and comfortable to wear but it is not a spring / fall weight garment.

I would say that it is. It is very conforming. Does generate a little warmth after a while as the is no venting Be sure to sleep with the zipper side away from your face.

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.

Before I bought one I would have said no. I know now that on some nights I have to stick my feet out to cool myself a bit. I am a hot natured person, but I truly think this will be all I need this winter along with my quilt on top of it of course. Its not as hot as my down cover was or as bulky, but it is nice and toasty. And I gotta add it is really soft too. I don't think you will complain about being cold.

It is perfect for me, because I like the how light it is, but yet it keeps me nice and warm. My old down alternative comforter was very heavy and I bought it in the dead of winter a few years ago, thinking I needed it. And it was a bit too warm even for me , and I do run cold and have cold feet. This one is just perfect for me and I am thinking of purchasing one for my son too. He gets too hot even in winter from his down alternative comforter. Hope this was helpful AVIVA K. And good luck to you.

This is a good warm weather jacket for biking or hiking. In cold New Orleans weather it is a good wind breaker. Its main function for us is as a raincoat. It is a good raincoat or a good second layer for bikiing when the temp is in the 50s. It does not provide any real winter warmth. I have lived in Maine. This would be a summer coat.
