Does anyone know if this jacket would be warm enough for Germany in winter?

I don't know the temp in Germany in the winter.....however, my daughter wore it this past winter on a very snowy, cold college campus in Pennsylvania at she was warm. Temps in PA were below 20f many days.

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.

I guess it would be all right . But I returned mine since the item is not made in Germany.

All I can really say is that the jacket runs approx a size small. I usually wear a large but ordered X-Large and it fits perfect.I am about 20 lbs heavier than you and like I said the XL is perfect for me..I love the jacket ..It is beautiful and very warm. Just had -20 degree weather hereand it was nice and toasty..Love it.

I only wear it when it's really cold, cause I'm the same way. It does seem "breathable" though. We had a really cold snowy winter last year and I wore it sleigh riding a few times, and I sweat even when it's freezing out. I really do like the coat a lot.

This is the best Columbia jacket I've ever owned. I absolutely love the material and it certainly keeps me warm in our -40 degree weather here in WY that we have some winters, like this one! It is a great coat all in all!!

No. It is a thin polyester (I think) vest. No warmth at all for winter. More of a summer fall thing. I got it just for the reflective properties.

This would work for snowmobiling, but it might not be heavy enough for way lower temperatures. I live in a fairly mild climate (35-40f lows to 75-80f highs). I use the jacket solely for motorcycle riding, and just because it has armored shoulders, elbows, and back. If it's 35f at night, even with the liner, it's a little cold. For snowmobiling, I'd say get a size or two larger than you wear and wear layers underneath. Watch out, though, this jacket runs a bit on the small side (if you wear a large, get an XL or XXL).

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.

In winter is better but also in autumm or early spring. For me is the best jacket i ever have!

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.

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

In response to your question: This jackets are patterned and made extreamly well, because they are made of real cow hide leather they have NO GIVE at all, you may have a problem with the arm pits and will not be able to zip it up, order the largest they and see how it ware's on you, the hoody would be out. Return it if it dosent fit on you well, you may want to ask Milwaukee to. I am a slender person so my perspective will be diffrent. Hope it that help. Also ware the hoodie you will be using when you tryit. From the comments of larger men it may work.

I'm sorry I didn't see your email sooner. I am just about your height and weight and I got an X-Large. I can wear a med weight sweater with no problem.( The jacket runs small this is why I got an X-Large otherwise I would have gotten a large) Anyway this jacket is so toasty warm you really don't need to wear sweaters under it..Beautiful jacket..Love it!!!!!

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.
