What is the minimum temperature the jacket can withstand? Need someting really warm in Canada...

I can say New York winter storm in December. It is the best purchase I've made for my grandson. Canada is cold in winter and also very windy . This jacket resists wind the best. At any point you have to use extra protection there and it is so spacious inside that a big sweater fits perfectly.

Im in chicago and last winter was very cold i was very warm in -15 F. When i shoveled snow it got really warm. So it really depends on how much activity you plan on doing in it.

I can say I was comfortable in this jacket with a long-sleeved t-shirt on underneath while boarding in a high of -2 F (not factoring in the wind chill I was making going down the slopes). I probably wouldn't count on it for too much lower than that, but it is surprisingly warm for how thin and light it is.

It's warm but not the warmest. The warmness comes from the thickness and definitely not from the material. I wouldn't use it as extensive warmth in the Canadian winter by itself! Lol

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

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems.

I consider this a three-season jacket. It's lightweight enough to wear in the spring and fall, and warm enough to wear in pretty cold weather. I live in southern Maine, if that gives you an idea. For really cold weather (below 25 F) I will usually wear something a little heavier and longer with a hood to cover my head and legs too, but this is pretty great for all but the coldest weather, I think.

I love this jacket in many ways, but it is not for really cold weather. If I wear a warm sweater underneath, I am fine until it gets really cold, but today I was out in 30-degree weather with just a light-weight long-sleeve tee underneath and I was cold.

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

I too got hung up on the sizing chart and decided to disregard the chart. I normally wear somewhere between size small and medium. After trying on both sizes, I went with the small. Don't plan to put several layers between you and the coat or you won't feel the heat. Yesterday's high was 25 degrees and I was outside all day with the jacket and a t-shirt under it (and a spare battery!).

I used them for a week in Montreal, Quebec, last Christmas when the temps there were -15 to -18 F during the day. My hands were always warm and I would recommend them highly. One problem was getting them dry inside from perspiration. It was impossible to turn them inside-out, so I just used a hair dryer, and it took a while!

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.

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

Pretty warm. I'm fairly comfortable, but my husband says it's too hot. We live in San Diego, CA...coldest it gets is low 40s. We only use in the fall/winter.

The hood isn't removable and it is a warm jacket but if you are in weather below 35 a liner will keep you warm.

this is an all temp. jacket. i have worn it from 17 degrees farenheit to 98 degrees , when it starts getting hot the super warm lining zips out and has zippers on each side in the back and if you keep the zippers on the arm un zipped the wind goes right through and keeps you cool.really thick leather blocks out 100 % wind . really awesome for all weather.

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.

If you get cold easily, you're going to be cold at 5F.. I have used mine in the "back yard" about 11,150Ft altitude in Cameron Pass, Colorado. It snowed and was about 2F at lowest. I was in a 3 season tent with a footprint & was on a therm-a-rest inflatable..the only thing I have to complain about was my toes, I used an extra sweatshirt to wrap my feet & threw in a hot hands heater.. When in doubt follow this rule for staying warm : add 5-10F to the rating for comfort zone. You can always invest $15-20 on a good fleece bag liner to add about 5-8F of warmth

I have 2 of these and love them, however at 30F it is not as warm as we would like. Had a scout camp over weekend and both me and my son were quite cold with outside temp around 30 even though we had thermals + pants with wool socks (feet were esp cold). Bag is great above 35 or 40, but need a top cover or thicker bag for freezing weather.
