How warm is "medium warmth"? Is it ok for Chicago weather?

I'm not sure how cold Chicago winters are, but I would venture to say that "medium warmth" is probably not warm enough for winter weather there. I use the Pinzon Primaloft comforter for Southern California weather all year and it works fine for our moderate winters.

It should be good for Chicago weather. It was just a little to warm for me personally, but then, I'm in Florida. It's a good looking comforter.

I'm not sure if I purchased medium warmth. Its pretty warm though, sometimes too warm. I don't know what Chicago winters are like but I live in NYC and so far its kept me very warm during the colder nights with a window open.

We live in Denver and turn our thermostat down to 62 degrees at night. This was WAY too warm for that, so we tried 59 degrees. That was better, but still too warm. I wish this comforter came in a light warmth - it's a really, really nice one, just too warm for us.

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

I can't recall if the one I purchased was Medium Warmth. I believe it was, and it is very warm. I live in Denver, Colorado. It's not like the humid winter of Chicago, but it keeps me warm here.

I live in Michigan and I dress in layers (flannel shirt over hoodie over sweatshirt over long sleeve t-shirt) when it is cold outside. When the temp is in the 30 degree range it MIGHT be somewhat snug.

By my standards is about medium weight. its not heavy or anything but it does keep me warm without me overheating. It light enough to breath. I really like it.

It's warm, as it's several layers thick. I can't say that it has been too warm, but I do tend to keep my bedroom on the cool side.

I would say that this is a medium weight and is plenty warm. It does not smother you or weigh you down. I am menopausal and it works great for me.

Hi, We live in Chicago and it has been working just fine in the cold weather. No Problems! We have already had 10 degrees and its perfect. Its really worth the money.

Outside is warm, inside I am not really sure. By now, I am fine with this product, I use it for one year and on daily basis.

Keeping in mind that I live in Palm Desert, CA, this comforter is a medium to slightly heavy. It definitely keeps me warm! And it does look gorgeous! :)

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

It's warm but not the warmest. The warmness comes from the thickness and definitely not from the material. I wouldn't use it as extensive warmth in the Canadian winter by itself! Lol

In my opinion I don't think it's that thick but it's not thin. To me it's average. Also It's warm but the level of warmth is different from person to person.

This comforter should be perfect for this weather, its light and only provide medium warmth.

Honestly I think it is not even warm enough by itself to start with. With jeans it will be fine up to mid 60 F. I was not too impressed with the material and quality.

There are 2 different heat settings, an additional dial that manages the intensity of the heat from Low to High. So, using 750W at a medium setting is probably enough for a cool spring evening. Using 1500W at medium to high setting probably best for winter. There's also no heat option.

Window open at -10 degrees, hmmm? I too need to feel and smell fresh air 24/7 even if it's only a crack. I live in CT and it gets to single digits in the winter, but -10? I can only tell you that I am plenty warm enough with this comforter and have never had to put an additional blanket on top of it. Too me, it's very warm and insulating, but I have never gone down to -10. It's light and fluffy and cool in the summer, warm and snuggly in the winter.

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 find this jacket is best when it is 25-40 degrees out. It blocks the wind nicely and if you pair it with a warm scarf/hat/gloves, you could probably get away with wearing it when it's under 20 degrees.
