what weather is this jacket suitable for?

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 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 snow ski in my Jena Jacket and it's great for just throwing on in the Winter to run out. With lightweight down you are warm when it's really cold but not too warm when it's not freezing cold. Hope this helps. I own 2 of these jackets, 1 bright yellow and 1 in bright green ... love both of them.

This jacket is great for fall and spring on its own. I love it as a mid layer under my ski jacket which keeps me toasty on the cold slopes in winter.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

this is an all temp. jacket. i have worn it from 17 degrees farenheit to 98 degrees , when it starts getting hot the super warm lining zips out and has zippers on each side in the back and if you keep the zippers on the arm un zipped the wind goes right through and keeps you cool.really thick leather blocks out 100 % wind . really awesome for all weather.

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.

yes, I think it wil...I spend a portion of winter up in Nome,Alaska and snow shoe up in the Bendeleben Mountains and we have white out snow conditions all the time,and I will gladly try this jacket out...you really don't want a really tight fitting inter wrist sleeve anyway,as it restricks arm movement in a comfort manner...in White out conditions,loose fitting clothes keep you comfortable....and the insulated underwear of today is about perfect anyway

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.

TA, This coat is not quite as puffy as a typical down jacket, but it appears similar and it definitely has the thickness typical of a cold weather winter jacket. It is very flexible and comfortable to wear but it is not a spring / fall weight garment.

i bought this jacket to endure the humid rainy season here in the Philippines. Lightwt material and pit zips make it perfect for my situation. Not too warm.

Ah, I honestly don't know! I live in Las Vegas so I unfortunately don't get to wear enough. I bought it for my trip to Ireland which I took in march and it withstood the weather fantastically! At first I would wear xtra layers underneath but quickly found out it wasn't necessary! It would get hot quick! But it's a fantastic fantastic jacket that I wish I could wear more often! Hope this helps!

I believe it is to a degree. It fleece, but I typically wear it with a hood in the snow. I imagine you'd be fine unless you went out in the rain .

it is lined nylon so it should be ok in a drizzle. My thinking is that it won't do in full on rain for long time. Very light weight, I use it to carry a jacket, hat etc for overseas travel.

This is a good warm weather jacket for biking or hiking. In cold New Orleans weather it is a good wind breaker. Its main function for us is as a raincoat. It is a good raincoat or a good second layer for bikiing when the temp is in the 50s. It does not provide any real winter warmth. I have lived in Maine. This would be a summer coat.

I believe this jacket would be great for the golf course. It is super lightweight and provides protection from the rain WITHOUT any bulk. You can almost literally roll this up and stuff it in a pocket.

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 depends on the wind and/or how much moving around you plan to do. Just setting you would be fine. Walking you may want to take off the coat. This suit is awesome...2nd year with it and no complaints.

At 20F i would wear a underskirt, t-shirt and a thin fleece under the jacket. But then you are well prepared for a longer stay. If its stormy you need a gore-tex jacket over it.

This comforter should be perfect for this weather, its light and only provide medium warmth.
