Some posts suggest that this jacket is not that warm. However, the posts for the Men's version suggest that it is quite toasty. Aren't the men/women's versions made the same way (i.e., shouldn't they both be quite warm)?

Frankly, "warm" is a very subjective term. This is definitely nowhere near as warm as a big puffy down jacket. Nor is it as warm as a down sweater, in my personal opinion. That said, it is definitely warmer than an uninsulated shell. I'd say that this jacket is "warm" for it's light weight, but for cold days skiing, for example, it definitely requires layering underneath. I hope this helps. And yes, it has the same amount of insulation as the men's version. Some will say that men, in general, stay warmer more easily than women in general.
