Is it warm enough for Chicago area ?

I would think so. It has kept us warm in Colorado and we had some bitter cold nights this Winter.

It should be- I'm in WA, not as cold as you guys, but it's been plenty warm through our winter.

I'd say you will have no problem. I'm in Chicago, and last winter was absolutely terrible. I have 2 of these and they survived just fine. Mine are in a corner protected from wind however

It's fine for the Pacific Northwest, in fact too warm during the early fall, but perfect during winter. Good luck with your decision!

No way. It's more for fall and mild winter days. Perhaps 20 above with slight breeze.

The exterior gets warm to the touch, but not extremely hot (at least not in my estimation -- possibly someone else might find it to be objectionably hot).

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

I think it's very hot myself. I live in Florida (but use the AC) and don't sweat with a quilt, but sweat a lot with this comforter.

I would say it is a medium warmth, which is what we were looking for since we live in the South. Yet, we had a 28 degree night last week and we are fairly miserly with our heat. It kept us very warm. It is light weight which is also what we wanted. Hope that helps.

I wear mine in the Atlanta area and have had no problems with being hotter while wearing this. It does run small for a man though.

I've personally had it down to -17F in Michigan and was toasty warm. I was in a tent with no wind blowing directly on me and the bag isn't like a weather proof shell or anything. Inside a tent though with a good cot or ground pad and you'll sleep like a baby.

It's pretty warm although we use it with another thin blanket. Kept us warm here in Virginia during the polar vortex ;)

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

It will be warmer than anywhere out in the open. It is insulated with a nice cushion on the bottom. Since our weather has cooled, our outside cats have moved back into our Kitty Tube. I want to get the door awning for ours next.

I have this comforter and I live in Chicago, and it's perfect for me. I currently have the heat off in my room because this comforter is perfect to get warm and toasty under.

We use it in a bedroom 350 square feet with hardwood floors and it warms the room . Don't know if it would be warm enough on its own for a living area .
