Does anyone find that the sewn-through design is a negative feature that makes for cold spots?

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.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

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.

I have zero temps where I live and it has kept out the cold. Where I live can also be very windy and I have noticed that some gusts can blow the flaps a little bit. The bottom of the flaps have metal and they close by magnets on the bottom of the door opening I have noticed that dirt and/or grit can get under the magnets and that can cause them to not go up and down to grab the bottom of the flaps. I have had to vacuum it to get the dirt/grit and that takes care of the problem.

Yes. It's like sewing on cotton flannel. The particles of silver in it are like dust -- you won't even know they are there when you are sewing.

No problem so far although I have not used it in really cold weather, My only problem with the mask has been it does not accommodate glasses I had to poke small holes to put glasses through which lead to very minor air leak. Overall like the mask. Use it outside for severe allergies.

I have not noticed this with mine. However, I used it in a small apartment for one winter. I have not used this in nearly two years.

I haven't tried as yet, I assume possible with proper procedure. Cold wash, line dry only, do not iron (on the tag).

I don't think so. It's a problem for me, too. I just keep a dark cloth across the front. It's a shame; I do wish there was a way to dim it.

Absolutely there are spaces on both the right or the left of item that makes it easy to sew. However you could just sew over the velcro i dont see why not it would not affect the item at all in my opinion! But the answer to your question is yes!!

Not at all! I did find that I needed to run WARM water over it before I sat on it thought - otherwise really COLD!

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

No not at all. It has clips that pop the top off. Kind of difficult in cold weather, but you can also squeez your torso in the opening if you are not a big guy....otherwise top pops off. Good luck!

IF you are talking about the cover, No on the "cutting out" the cut outs. If you have it on properly it should expose the buttons. And the other answer does make a good point about "sloppy manufacturing".

yes it does and sometimes I don't like that feature because I forget that it turned off and it gets cold

It must be defective... thought slim, mine has nicely sewn buttonholes along the top.

I haven't had that issue. I've worn them for 3 hour runs. Now the part that touches the top of the ear to wrap around the back get just a tad tender, but I have a feeling that is impacted by my winter hat pushing on it. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Overall, they are a great buy!

I think you'll be disappointed. While I loved the feel and fit, along with the zippered slot (on the newer versions of this glove), I was disappointed in it's ability to keep my hands warm. I was trying these gloves out when the temperarture was in the teens, and they just didn't cut it. The gloves might be OK for more moderates temps, but they didn't meet my needs for real bitter cold.I was much happier with Auclair Duck Down Gloves (Waterproof, Insulated) that I found at SierraTradingPost.com
