Mountain Hardwear Bernina Jacket - Women's

Mother Nature dumps buckets on the best of Gore-Tex Pro parades. Cinch down the Mountain Hardwear Women’s Bernina Jacket, roll up the attached Ergo hood and pop a bone dry thumbs-up toward the sky. Mountain Hardwear built the Bernina with Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric for total waterproof breathable protection in alpine environments. Water-resistant underarm zips release sweaty vapors and the velvet soft micro-Chamois lined chin guard fends off chafing. A single-pull hood system and dual-adjustable hem drawcords bring a customized fit to your, fast-and-light backcountry bomb shelter.

Bottom Line: Bring the dry.

This question is more difficult to answer than you may think Jessica. Jackets don't come with temperature ratings, so we have to measure warmth somehow else.

This jacket isn't "warm" in the sense that it has insulation. It's only a shell. However the shell is windproof, so it keeps you slightly warmer in that regard. The relative warmth of a jacket also depends on you, the wearer. Generally I'm a cold person, so these shell-type jackets typically do not offer enough heat retention to keep me warm.

If we use a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a cotton t-shirt and 10 is a down parka, I would rate this 2.5 plus/minus 0.5. It will also depend on what you're using it for. This jacket will keep you much warmer if you're generating heat, say by going ice climbing, than if you're standing around, say waiting for the bus.
