It seems so thin. Is it OK to wear it when the temperature goes below -20F?

No way. It's more for fall and mild winter days. Perhaps 20 above with slight breeze.

-20F is very cold. That said, I have worn it as a sweater in +10F in the wind and with another longer winter coat over it I was very warm. A lot depends on wind chill, hat and gloves.

It's pretty thin, yeah. If you wear a thick enough sport's bra beneath it then it shouldn't be a problem.

It is not too hot. Protection from sun is my priority. I will wear it at the golf course in Fort Myers.

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

I wear it when playing golf. It never got too hot or sweaty while playing ( about 3 hrs on). But we did have a cool summer. As far as sleeping with it on, I do not think it is a good idea. Too long a time to have it on. I wear it only when I do an activity that hurts my elbow.

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.

Agree with previous responses. Low to mid 40 degrees Fahrenheit is about the lowest I would go without a bivy cover.

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.

I don't think it's down, it's a nice soft material. It's not made the best and a little thin- you get what you paid for but I definitely feel I got my money's worth. It's great for the warmer temps.

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

Maybe? I don't really notice that it's weighing me down. I wear mine all the time. The one thing I will say though is that it's very hot now that the weather is warming up. I find I have to run mine underwater to soak it at half time.

I just used it (first day of summer) and felt it was perfect, but I get cold easily... Hope that helps.

It's comfortable but not very light. Also a bit bulky. It doesn't hurt but you are right that it does sweat your ears a bit. I live in a cold climate so it wouldn't be something I'd wear if I'm traveling to Florida but NYC during the winter sure.

I probably wouldn't recommend. I used in the summer and was sweating because it is thick material, but I imagine it wouldn't do well in less than 10 degrees

No, the backing is a very finely knit nylon or polyester. It doesn't seem to make the person sweat, but, of course, this is winter and the weather is fairly cold. Don't know what it would be like in hot weather yet.

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.
