This is a very warm jacket. I live in MN and I am a freeze-baby in the cold. This jacket is great for being outside in the weather, but it gets warm while shopping. Usually I am comfortable just unzipping my coat while shopping, but even with this jacket unzipped, I still get warm. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just dress accordingly if you'll be inside more than outside.I found the fit to be pretty accurate as other jackets fit with a sweatshirt under them. Obviously my spring jackets don't need to be as roomy, since they are worn over just a t-shirt, as a winter jacket is worn over layers.There are two things about this jacket that I'm not thrilled about and one of them is the color. I ordered light gray and to me it looks beige or taupe; definitely wouldn't call it gray. I also don't care for the closure bands on the sleeves. I find them to be a bit cheap and rough. But for the price I paid for this jacket in the off-season I will not complain enough to even knock a star off the review. My zipper just broke on my other jacket and I mailed it in for service so I am beyond grateful to have this extra jacket to keep me warm in our current subzero temperatures!!!
