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 )

First off I don't play golf, and in warmer weather I don't think this jacket would be good I use it for walking and when I get warmed up this is sweaty for me and I take it off. It is light weight and I tend to be comfortable when others around me are cold.

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.

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

Yes..it's more of a full cut jacket. Check out the review on outdoorgearlab.

I have a light weight Down comforter which I will put on my bed when the weather warms. I would say thiscomforter would be to warm when the temperature reaches the sixties.

Not at all. In fact I love it! I stay warm but not hot like down ccomforters. I got my friend to buy one and they love it also.

It provides a respectable amount of warmth for what it is (a rain jacket, not a coat). Throw on a couple layers under this jacket and you're good to go. I've worn this in non-rain, less than 40 degree (F) conditions and it's kept me warm with some layering.

The warmth is not the same as an electric blanket as it comes from the bottom, not the top. My husband is cold blooded, I'm not. He is able to stay warm and I just need enough to take the chill off. I guess it depends on how warm you want it. I'm happy to say I'm satisfied.

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.

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

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.

Yes, it is extremely soft and warm like flannel. My grandson slept in it again last night. If that is what you are looking for, you will absolutely love it.

If a down comforter is too hot for you, but a basic comforter doesn't quite do it, this is the perfect choice. It keeps you warm without overheating.

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 can say I was comfortable in this jacket with a long-sleeved t-shirt on underneath while boarding in a high of -2 F (not factoring in the wind chill I was making going down the slopes). I probably wouldn't count on it for too much lower than that, but it is surprisingly warm for how thin and light it is.

Yes! I live in Minnesota and I wore this this winter with brutal -20 degree temps. Its amazingly light and warm!!
