Is it enough for winter in Minnesota?I am considering wearing it for commuting. If not good enough, could you recommend other clothes?

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

Yes, it is. Very warm. My cousin wore a sweater inside. He lives on northeast China, very cold...

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.

I suppose that would depend on what you have on under it. I live in East Tennessee, and the coat is actually too warm for our normal winter days. But, with our high humidity and wind, I would have to have on long underwear, a heavy shirt, tee shirt, and perhaps insulated overalls, and then the coat would be great. But to tell you for sure, I cannot. We stay between 20 and 50 most of the winter.

Medium fits me well and I am 5'9, 173. It is pretty true to size so large seems like it could be correct for you, unless you prefer a more snug fit. I am extremely happy with this jacket. I live in California but wore it for a ski trip to Colorado this past winter and it performed well.

its 1 layer fairly thick polyester fleece yet on the very front were your mouth, going down your chin and neck its laminate mesh that I would think would be pretty water resistant. I'm in MA and I've warm this while shoveling and snow blowing also and it does get about as wet as any fleece would yet I've never gotten wet through it even after an hour outside and when I do ride in the cold with it I but the arms of my glasses over it rather then going inside over my ears and that helps keep it snug. I like the idea of eh way the top is kinda adjustable as you can get more of a custom fit for how you want to wear the top, you can actually push it right off your head if you wanted.

No to be quite honest, I want to try and wear it during the winter time but it just doesn't give you the warmth of a sweater. Quite wind resistant though would recommend for climate for 50 degrees and up but anything below and it'll have you shivering.

Ah, I see you look at similar things as I do before you purchase, good for you. Check it out first. Yes, this comforter is definitely thick enough to warm in winter, and yet a cool enough fabric to leave on the bed all year. I had it on mine all spring & summer, and it was quite comfortable.

I found it to run a little large but I like that. I've had my base layer for over a year, wearing it frequently for winter and camping in summer. It still fits very well and keeps me toasty. Just follow the washing instructions and you should be good.

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.

It is really warm. Perhaps too warm for this winter (Oct-Nov), but can be better to use latter on.

It will be perfect. You are the same size as me. You will not regret this purchase. It is so soft. Warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

I only wear it when it's really cold, cause I'm the same way. It does seem "breathable" though. We had a really cold snowy winter last year and I wore it sleigh riding a few times, and I sweat even when it's freezing out. I really do like the coat a lot.

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

I would get an XL. It will give you extra room. To be honest winter for me comes a month and a half so I can't tell you much more. But I'm sure this will be a jacket that I could probably just wear a t-shirt under it. Hope this helps.

Yeah it was warm and comfortable. Not extremely heavy but it will keep you warm for sure. Just be careful when washing it because it falls apart.

I am just shy of 6ft tall and have the 2XL long. If you are a thin person I would recommend the medium. If you are a bit larger build, I would recommend a size large or even extra large depending on what the size around, that needs to be covered. I am not a small person and the 2 XL long is more than large enough for me. The jacket is fairly lightweight and I would not recommend it for very cold weather. Other than that, it is a great jacket and very durable. Mine still looks almost new and it is the jacket I wear way more than any other jacket I have.

I did worn it and seem fitting fine.. It did little warm and loose fitted fine.. No problem with it. I am glad I worn it for my bicycle safety.

It's works well during a meet and after to wear home. They are very warm. It's great to wear outside.
