Is this as warm as a good down jacket?

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 find it to be plenty warm enough on it's own for work days (in the car before it warms up, walking to and from the car, etc). For outdoor activities I like to layer with a sweatshirt, fleece or sweater for added warm. The slim profile of the jacket vs the huge puffy down made my decision for me. I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of warmth for the reduced bulk.

I was very warm during 4 and 5 degrees temperatures in Paris. I think layers would be needed for freezing temperatures eg fleece coats sweaters etc.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

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

The down does in fact keeps me warm in my boat. It is doing it's job for the month of November 23, 2014 to keep me warm. The problem that I have is that it bleeds feathers like it has a hole in it. If the synthetic could keep me as warm I would get the synthetic. I had experience with the synthetic in the past, but I also had used blanket.

Yes! This is the warmest coat I've ever owned too, highly recommended if you live in a cold climate.

It's a little bit insulated, a lot more than the other models. It's a little like a jacket, but not down.

I love this jacket in many ways, but it is not for really cold weather. If I wear a warm sweater underneath, I am fine until it gets really cold, but today I was out in 30-degree weather with just a light-weight long-sleeve tee underneath and I was cold.

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.

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.

I fluffed it up and it has kept me warm in very cold termperatures in mountains. it does not really puff up as much as some because it is 750 down.

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

In my opinion I don't think it's that thick but it's not thin. To me it's average. Also It's warm but the level of warmth is different from person to person.

It is goose down. I bought 2 of them and My daughter and I both agree incredibly warm. The only thing that was odd was the bottom part of the blanket you could see the feathers between in the blanket so waiting to see how durable it is. But for right now I would definitely buy a third if my son was living at home instead of at school.

When I wear it for an extended period of time in the house I tend to feel overly warm. It's a lot of fabric. I would compare it to wearing a light sweater. I'm in the Midwest and haven't had the opportunity to use it outside yet.

Yes, its very warm but not hot - its cotton lined with fleece on the outside.

It is perfect for me, because I like the how light it is, but yet it keeps me nice and warm. My old down alternative comforter was very heavy and I bought it in the dead of winter a few years ago, thinking I needed it. And it was a bit too warm even for me , and I do run cold and have cold feet. This one is just perfect for me and I am thinking of purchasing one for my son too. He gets too hot even in winter from his down alternative comforter. Hope this was helpful AVIVA K. And good luck to you.

Before I bought one I would have said no. I know now that on some nights I have to stick my feet out to cool myself a bit. I am a hot natured person, but I truly think this will be all I need this winter along with my quilt on top of it of course. Its not as hot as my down cover was or as bulky, but it is nice and toasty. And I gotta add it is really soft too. I don't think you will complain about being cold.
