Is it enough for winter in Minnesota? I am considering wearing it for commuting. If not good enough, could you recommend other clothes?

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

I love this jacket! I wear it in Houston, TX and in NYC. When temperatures are in the 40s it is great! I also bought the Marmot waterproof rain jacket, and I use it for a mid layer. When combined it is a good ski option for spring skiing.

Its definitely too warm in my opinion for the summer especially without a/c. Its a very thick material. Every baby is different however. You can always give it a try and if not return. Just know as other reviewers have pointed out it's essentially a snowsuit.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

I returned the coat, but my impression was that it would work well for temperatures in the 40s and 50s, possibly similar to a good sweater, but light and silky. I have a light down jacket from Costo (Calvin Klein). It is good in these temps, as well as indoors when it is too cold. I have a thicker, Patagonia street jacket which I think is more comfortable when you are getting down around freezing or below. I love the Calvin Klein for our north coast of California temperatures, but it is not as good a quality jacket, so I am speculating. The Marmot might be warmer. If I were to reorder it, and wanted it for cold temps, I would get it bigger and layer it.

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 live in Northern Michigan. I will wear a fleece or sweatshirt under the coat. The coat is lightweight and not bulky. Perfect for errands, snow shoveling, walking the dog. Have worn it on very windy days at soccer tournaments at 40 degrees and it was very toasty. Not for standing out on a frozen lake for ice fishing. Wearing it to sit in a very cold ice arena today. The perfect coat for me, but we are all different. I do not like bulky coats that feel like I am wearing a marshmallow.

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.

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.

I suppose that would depend on what you have on under it. I live in East Tennessee, and the coat is actually too warm for our normal winter days. But, with our high humidity and wind, I would have to have on long underwear, a heavy shirt, tee shirt, and perhaps insulated overalls, and then the coat would be great. But to tell you for sure, I cannot. We stay between 20 and 50 most of the winter.

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.

It is really warm. Perhaps too warm for this winter (Oct-Nov), but can be better to use latter on.

My son loves his, and has been wearing it as an outer layer over other shirts (tees and turtle necks) this whole fall. I would think biggest issue might be getting too warm once you were indoors. That, and getting a size with some extra room for the layering.

Yes, it's very breathable; the downside is that in higher speeds or lower temps you'll freeze unless you wear multiple layers.

It works just fine for me during the winter months when I'm wearing a long sleeve. It's adjustable via velcro so you can have it as tight or loose as you'd like. Only bad thing is that there's no protection against rain. Hope this helps.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

Pretty much so. I used it in in the high Sierra at above 11,000 ' this past spring and encountered a hard rain and wet snow. It did it's job well. It's also a very good windbreaker. At some point, all rain jackets lose some of their repellency. I've only had it about a year so i cannot tell how long it will work without leaking, but my expectation is that it'll work well for a few years yet.
