How is this top is in the winter? I live in northwestern Wisconsin so I have wind chill warnings and a lot of snow. Is this a summer only top or all year round?

It not very good for winter bc it comes up a little and it leaks water and puddles on top so if u drive and it rained don't roll windows down right away bc it all pours in the car

This top, as long as you have the correct door surrounds is as good if not better than the standard jeep soft top. It allows for easier access to the back. Having said that, I bought my Wrangler with a hard top. And I have that on this winter. But, the soft top fits as snug as the std jeep top.

I am sorry, but we decided to return the top so I have no first hand knowledge concerning the tops performance in winter conditions.

I live in Texas, so our winter is not your winter. But when compared to the factory top there is not much of a difference

I use it for golfing. It is excellent forblocking the wind. I use it from about 32 degrees to low 50s. Any higher and I think you might get too warm.

You got the seasonal topper. One side is warmer for winter and the other side is cooler for summer.

I purchased the stand this spring, so it did not experience winter weather yet. It has been outside all summer and the color has not faded or rusted. I personally love it and are very satisfied with it.

Hi I wore it all winter in Wisconsin, but needed to have layers. My son plays hockey and it worked well for that but if I was going to be outside for a bit I needed something a bit heavier. I love the jacket, but wish the hood wasn't so flaky (it never stayed up). It does run small-I needed to order a size bigger than what I did.

It is nice for both summer and winter, but I like it warmer in summer and I use a blanket over it in winter. Not heavy though.

I bring mine in during the winter months. It was outside for 1 summer and now has a different appearance than when I first bought it. Its more of a dirty rust now. Can't imagine what a winter would do to it. I live in WI. and we have some pretty harsh winters. I guess it's your call!

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

Had mine two years. Live in southern Illinois. Had a bunch of snow this year. No issue.

It is quite comfortable and I will use this all winter. I would have like it to be a little longer but that is about all that could be wrong with it. I haven't washed it yet so not sure how it will turn out after I do.

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.

It appears to be a standard BDU jacket. I think it would be ok for early spring and late fall weather. I don't think it is designed for severely cold weather.

Its definitely for summer. Its very light weight. In the winter you will have to switch to a heavier comforter. I have washed it twice, and its fine. I love the look of it, as well as the decorative pillows.

Hi Wendy- you need to being it in before a freeze. I'd say for the winter. She's beautiful but not all weather.

I live in the NW- By Seattle,WA. We get high winds mostly spring and fall-winter. So far, My screen fence has withstood the current high winds- Mine is Doubled up for extra privacy- facing West- to East secured on my side of the chain link. Mine billows like a sail and so far handles wind just fine- Single layer Vs wind ? should work fine. Some sunlight will show thru. kinda sparkles in late afternoon sun. Hope this helps- I've only had mine a month + D.Durham
