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 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.

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.

I've personally had it down to -17F in Michigan and was toasty warm. I was in a tent with no wind blowing directly on me and the bag isn't like a weather proof shell or anything. Inside a tent though with a good cot or ground pad and you'll sleep like a baby.

My son is 5'5" and about 15 pounds heavier than yours, and I bought him a Large which he has worn all winter. He had tried them on at a local store first, the Medium was tight in the shoulders for him, and I wanted it to last at least 2 winters. I figured we'd have to roll the sleeve cuffs back a little, but they were fine as-is. Super-warm jacket, great purchase.

Withstand Low/High temperature:-40 to 260 Celsius(-40F to 500F)That's on the website that makes these. Hope that helps

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.

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.

It's great just get one size bigger than you normally would and you'll have enough room for 2 thinner or 1 thick layer underneath. Its very lightweight. I'm not sure about how warm it is in extreme cold though because I just bought it.

about 40F. you can increase that by 5-10F with a liner, which are inexpensive and a good thing to do if used regularly. the thing is very lightweight and can be compressed down to a very manageable size - its my backpacking bag. I don't do that in snow.

I consider this a three-season jacket. It's lightweight enough to wear in the spring and fall, and warm enough to wear in pretty cold weather. I live in southern Maine, if that gives you an idea. For really cold weather (below 25 F) I will usually wear something a little heavier and longer with a hood to cover my head and legs too, but this is pretty great for all but the coldest weather, I think.

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 live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill.

My husband is always cold, so for him no, but I am always to warm, so for me, I wouldn't want to wear it if the temp is 90 degrees out and humid, but otherwise it is a truly nice jacket, well made.

As of yet the warmest temperature I've used it in was 80 degrees and it was quite comfortable. I've used it at 0 degree temps but was cold. It helped extremely well with the wind though. Best guess 30-85 F.

Not sure how warm it is in the Rockies but we slept out in 40F weather and we ended up sweating at night. The sleeping bag is HUGE. You are going to have a hard time fitting it into a washing machine.

I am not sure if I am the one to answer that question -I live in Phoenix AZ - I know that they are very secure & you can wear them in several position ( mine came with instructions) I have worn mine in as cold as 35 degrees and have been very satisfied but it is not lined with extra material, you can however bunch it up for extra thickness around the areas you want to keep warm

We live in Norway, & it certainly gets cold there. We have two of these (toddler size) on our double stroller in the winter. It fit pretty snugly around our baby, so we didn't bundle him up too much underneath (mostly like the other commenters said), but we did still have our two year old wear a coat- mostly because he stuck out more from the top of the bundleme, and he wanted to move around more. If you are using this in a carseat, I definitely wouldn't use a jacket under it as the baby would more easily get overheated with it on & with the heated car (& sun shining in). Hope that helps.
