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 )

I would say that it is. It is very conforming. Does generate a little warmth after a while as the is no venting Be sure to sleep with the zipper side away from your face.

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 have had no problems with it being to warm and it has held up well for me so far.

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

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.

In that case I don't recommend getting this one cause it is a lil thin. I live in texas so it doesn't get no where near as cold as it does there in nyc. I seen one that was a fleece fabric that my buddy bought and it looks a lot warmer than the one I bought. He also bought it off Amazon but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what he said the name of it was. It has strings that come out from the mouth piece to tighten down on your face and it looks very similar to the one I bought. Not sure if that helps any but it's the only way I can really explain what it looks like.

It isn't as warm as a large fire, but it does throw off a fair amount of heat. I get cold easily and would wear a jacket while using this when it is in the low 50s. As the previous person said, it is a great deal, looks good, and works well. We are very happy with our purchase.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

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.

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

I'm not sure if you can regard the "low" setting as "cool", but it is the one I use frequently which feels warm. It has two settings, Lo and Hi

Truthfully I wouldn't recommend it if you get hot easily. This comforter looks light but it's very heavy and very warm. It is a good comforter overall.

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.

It's hard to say if it will be too hot for you because I don't know what the ambient temperature you want it for. It definitely is lighter and cooler than my lightweight genuine down duvet.

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 use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.
