No. You need some hardcore outerwear for that kind of temps. I would hesitate to say that there is any jacket that would keep you warm at that temperature on its own. It'll be good down to a bit below freezing, and it's water and windproof, so that's awesome, but -40 is brutally cold. The Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero or the North Face Himalayan would probably do on its own. Not sure where you're going that'll be -40, but you should do some serious research, cause this jacket absolutely won't cut it.
