How warm is "medium warmth"? Is it ok for Chicago weather?

I'm not sure how cold Chicago winters are, but I would venture to say that "medium warmth" is probably not warm enough for winter weather there. I use the Pinzon Primaloft comforter for Southern California weather all year and it works fine for our moderate winters.

It should be good for Chicago weather. It was just a little to warm for me personally, but then, I'm in Florida. It's a good looking comforter.

I'm not sure if I purchased medium warmth. Its pretty warm though, sometimes too warm. I don't know what Chicago winters are like but I live in NYC and so far its kept me very warm during the colder nights with a window open.

We live in Denver and turn our thermostat down to 62 degrees at night. This was WAY too warm for that, so we tried 59 degrees. That was better, but still too warm. I wish this comforter came in a light warmth - it's a really, really nice one, just too warm for us.

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

I can't recall if the one I purchased was Medium Warmth. I believe it was, and it is very warm. I live in Denver, Colorado. It's not like the humid winter of Chicago, but it keeps me warm here.

I use it in an air conditioned home so it's hard to say but I don't think it's too warm. My son has never felt hot while in it and that is using it with full pjs.

By my standards is about medium weight. its not heavy or anything but it does keep me warm without me overheating. It light enough to breath. I really like it.

I would say they have medium warmth. They are a lighter weight sweat pant but do provide some warmth. Would recommend!

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with getting too hot while wearing it but it's also been on the colder side where I live. But I have worn it inside my house which we usually keep about 70-72degrees and I didn't get hot. Hope that helped

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

I live in Michigan and I dress in layers (flannel shirt over hoodie over sweatshirt over long sleeve t-shirt) when it is cold outside. When the temp is in the 30 degree range it MIGHT be somewhat snug.

I purchased this to wear in Phoenix. It is going to be hot. It's adequately ventilated for winter, but going to be chancy for summer.

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.

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.

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.

Get the medium. That way you can add layers under if you need to in winter.

Physical weight-wise it's no that heavy, but in terms of warmth it was far too warm for me. Granted I'm a hot sleeper, but even in a NYC winter I was waking up due to heat. I actually returned it for this reason.

I think it should. I live inm Chicago where we're in a deep freeze right now. I have a top sheet, 2 of the fleece blankets and a quilt on the bed and I'm toasty. I think one of the fleece blankets should do the trick nicely and it's great for autumn/spring.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

I would consider it medium and it does conform to your body. Too soft for my wife but just right for me. Hopefully this helps.

Keeping in mind that I live in Palm Desert, CA, this comforter is a medium to slightly heavy. It definitely keeps me warm! And it does look gorgeous! :)
