Would a combo of this and a fleece like the Arc'T Tao be enough for campus use in Syracuse, NY winters?

Hey Dyedjedi. Yeah that would be warm enough for Syracuse winters. I would recommend grabbing another shell for added protection from the snow and rain (which Syracuse is known for) on worse days. I'm from upstate NY and I have used Many of Mountain Hardwear's different gear up there and it has worked wonderfully. Yeah, the combination would work very well for your every day commute.
