I live in West Michigan and the winter is very brutal. Will this coat be warm enough despite how thin and light weight it is?

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.

Hi I wore it all winter in Wisconsin, but needed to have layers. My son plays hockey and it worked well for that but if I was going to be outside for a bit I needed something a bit heavier. I love the jacket, but wish the hood wasn't so flaky (it never stayed up). It does run small-I needed to order a size bigger than what I did.

Hi. This jacket is very nice, I do recess duty at school in our cold Iowa winters, you do need a sweater however, it's really amazing as light as it is how warm it is. I only wish the hood had a snap or tie but I wear a beenie under the hood. Hope this helps, I am 5' about 147 lbs. I usually wear size 10-12 womens, I bought a medium, plenty of room for sweater, light hoodie underneath if need. Columbia runs small in some items, I buy if it specifies 10-12 in size. Hope this helps you!:) Colleen

Mine kept me nice and warm during Michigan's harsh winter. I LOVE how lightweight yet warm it is! I was able to enjoy the parks all winter long without feeling bulky! It's a bit narrow through the hips so keep that in mind when ordering. Enjoy!

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 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.

'M' I think, but the jacket is a little light and thin need a mid layer for warmer.

I only bought mine earlier this year so it hasn't been through a cold snowy winter here yet but I think it will stand up to it quite well. It's a very thick two ply plastic with mesh between the layers. I think it would do great in SC.

The coat is great for cool weather sports, and it breaths pretty well, so I'd say it would be good for running, although in cooler weather--probably not great for warmer weather. The coat has a very snug fit so if that works okay for running then it should be fine. It should be fine for just about any activity from about 37º or so up to about 65º.

Yeah, I think it would. With the inner lining it's quite warm. Make sure you dress in layers.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

I live in upstate NY and plan to bring it inside in the winter. It looks/feels pretty durable, I'm sure it would be fine if it was covered.

Id say the 150 would be fine. Could also go 200 and it wont have to work as hard. Just my opinion and it will get cold were I live

I have not had it in winter,but although light in weight it is going to be warm with a light blanket under it.

I don't hike or backpack because of back problems so I can't speak to that. I bought it for summer wear only. Walking my dogs in the field when the temps are in the 80s and 90s, it is very light and comfortable. I don't think it would provide warmth in cold weather. I love it's lightness and would own more colors if I could get the size I want. I bought a size that is very large on me with the idea of using it as a beach cover-up.

This is a great coat, especially for when it's raining or snowing. It's easy to take off and put on. The only recommendation that I would make is when it freezing out side but dry use a sweater type that covers more and is warmer. But all in all this a great coat.

This comforter is relatively light-weight -not a heavy, heavy material meant to keep you warm in an igloo. Keeps us plenty warm during the summer & winter (outside night time temps of 30-70 degrees.) I wash mine several times a year as we can't convince our three shih-tzus to sleep on the floor. Guess they think the comforter is pretty comfortable, too!

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.
