Lin...I love my Mentor. It is absolutely rugged, waterproof and windproof. One of my favorite times to wear the Mentor is when I ice climb on warmer days. That sentence answers your question! On warmer days (warmer for ice climbing frozen waterfalls) there is plenty of water dripping off the ice and the Mentor just sheds the water. I wear a few layers under it and I stay warm. I wear a medium and there is plenty of room for the layers without limiting my range of motion/making me feel bulky. The hood fits great over my climbing helmet. It still looks brand new after 20+ days in the field. Hope this helps!

Lin, this is a great technical jacket that will keep you totally dry. For the warm part, you will need to layer this over a warm baselayer or fleece on cold days.
