Some other sites indicate that their coats are good for 5 degree to - 25 F or - 45 F. Is there any range of temperture that this coat can claim to protect from?

Hi Christine - The North Face's policy has always been to stay away from temperature ratings with regards to it's apparel line. It is very subjective from one person to another as far as their personal physiology, and what kind of activity the jacket is going to be used for. Activity use will have the greatest impact on how I recommend different jackets to different people. Triclimates like the Kira tend not be pieces that people use in high aerobic activities like cross country skiing. So the bottom line is that I would probably recommend this insulation package without much layering under it down to about the low teens for general use. Below that, I would probably recommend one of system jackets like The North Face Down Triclimate for colder temperature ranges because of it's 550 fill down liner jacket that will provide more warmth that the 100 gram synthetic liner that the Kira uses. Hope this helps-
