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 )

Yes! This is the warmest coat I've ever owned too, highly recommended if you live in a cold climate.

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!

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

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.

neither it is light and airy. not heavy or weighed down. incredibly warm. Siberian Down insulates your body's heat. You feel the warmth almost immediately!

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

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

I have had no problems with it being to warm and it has held up well for me so far.

I find it light weigjt but warm especially with a duvet cover om it. On the downside I find after having it for a year that the down does come through even with 1200 thread count. Have used down all my life and never experienced that. Will continue to purchase down but will look for different manufacturer.

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.

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.

Yes..it's more of a full cut jacket. Check out the review on outdoorgearlab.

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 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.

No. It is warm and comfortable. But as I told you it will loose its grip in some time.

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.
