I am in Afghanistan, and it is about to get cold here soon. I am told that it gets pretty cold, below freezing, maybe 15F, snow and fairly windy. I imagine it being like a New Yorkish type winter. I have a 20 min walk every morning and every night. I am from NC, so I am not used to really cold winters, and do not know what kind of coat I need. Will the Denali Wind Pro do the job? Any other suggestions?? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!!!

This is best considered as a layering piece under a shell. As a standalone piece this is going to be a little light for that kind of weather. For temps like that, you're going to want a heavy 300wt windproof fleece with a semihardshell outer -or- a down/synthetic insulation with a super tough shell for use in your theater. North Face Triclimate, Patagonia Rubicon Rider, or the Mountain Hardwear Downtown would be some examples. For military specific items, try 782 Gear, Arc'Teryx LEAF, Wild Things Tactical, or Tactical Distributors.

You definitely need an insulated jacket, which this particular jacket is not. I would recommend a down insulated jacket because it's warm and lightweight. Typically down jackets are not great for taking lots of abuse so if that would be a concern I would go for a more traditional synthetic insulated coat.
