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 do not know. It is warm. It served its purpose. I wouldnt recommend it though.

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.

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.

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

The jacket is pretty thin so it doesn't provide very much additional warmth. It is water tight and pretty wind resistant so it does cut down a bit on wind chill, but the jacket is no substitute for layering or a heavier coat if you plan on using it in cold temperatures.

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.

In my opinion I don't think it's that thick but it's not thin. To me it's average. Also It's warm but the level of warmth is different from person to person.

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, both the sleeves and hood are fleece lined, and that is what makes it so warm and such a snug fit. You won't need much in the way of layered clothing under this, and you may want to buy a size larger if you do plan on wearing a lot of layers with this over it. It is almost hot in this parka.

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.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

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.

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

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 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.
