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.

Yes, it is. Very warm. My cousin wore a sweater inside. He lives on northeast China, very cold...

It's probably perfect for commuting since it's very warm but not bulky like most Down coats. I wear it outdoors until its below zero then you need something warm underneath it.

It is quite comfortable and I will use this all winter. I would have like it to be a little longer but that is about all that could be wrong with it. I haven't washed it yet so not sure how it will turn out after I do.

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.

I would say excellent.. I bought it to possibly use on motorcycle, but my only use so far was with snowblower -1 degrees -20 with wind chill. Had goggles on as well nose underneath was a bit chilled at first but didnt notice much of anything by the time i was done.

I wear a large tshirt and can wear it over a motorcycle jacket. I'd say this would be to small for you. Especially over a winter jacket. Sorry

It will be perfect. You are the same size as me. You will not regret this purchase. It is so soft. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

No, not too warm, wear it under in very cold weather; wear it under in cool weather, like layers.

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.

I'm a transplant to WI and we had (I'm told) a particularly brutal winter this year. This was my go-to coat almost every day, and it was great. The thumb holes were fabulous for keeping the cuffs tucked inside my gloves and the zippered pockets were much appreciated for keeping my phone safe. Note that I did not engage in outdoor activities (e.g. sledding, snowshoeing); the coat would be too long and unwieldy for those, and the material is def thin enough that it might tear. Plan to get a size large enough to layer sweaters underneath.

Not to heavy. Warm enough to wear in 40 degree weather, but not in snow. Not as heavy as a "snow coat". Packs well for trips.

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.

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

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 did size up to a large and at first thought it was too big but it is great if you like to wear heavier sweaters. I would say it may fit a little small but not much. I think a medium would have been fine too. If you like a more fitted look then go with your usual size.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

We live near Pittsburgh, PA. It gets cold very cold here some times in the single digits. When I used it for my granddaughter I never put anything underneath it, just the clothes she was wearing. I loved this for my granddaughter. I think you would be fine and wouldn't be disappointed in your purchase. If you are out for long periods of times like taking a walk ... I think you would need something else, but just going from your house to your car or your care into stores or taking to sitters you will be fine or even walking a few blocks. It is very warm inside.
