It seems there have been some mixed reviews about the warmth of this jacket...
I am looking for a solid multipurpose softshell jacket that will keep me warm in cold temperatures (lets say around 15-20F) but won't get me sweating near 60F. I'd like it to be a North Face as well.

Anyone have any suggestions of comparable jackets to the Sentinel Thermal but possibly warmer? Not the apex bionic tho...
Thanks!

It depend what you have on underneath and what you are doing. You'll be cold with just a thin t-shirt standing around on a 15 degree day. If you have on two thick shirts, some gloves, a hat and you keep moving you should be fine. You loose a lot of heat from your head and hands. On that note this jacket is fine on a 60 degree day with just a t-shirt. I don't sweat while I'm standing around with the jacket zipped up. If I did start to get hot I'd just unzip it. Common sense really. Same for the cold. You really don't want a jacket that will keep you warm from 15 to 60. I don't think anybody makes one anyway. Jacket are like sleeping bags. There's no such thing as a four season bag. You get the 20 degree bag and sleep with your cloths. This jacket is like the almost all around 20 degree bag. You will not be disappointed by this jacket. This is one of the nicest pieces of clothing I own. People will notice the jacket. The material, construction and design are top notch. You will not be disappointed. I got the black and was worried it would be it would be a lint and hair magnet. The outside is always clean and silky looking. Stop debating and just get it. You'll love it and if you don't Backcountry has their guarantee.
