That's a relative question, and it depends not only on the ambient temperature, but humidity and wind, intensity of activity, and your own personal metabolic rate and comfort level. That said, with a base layer underneath I'd recommend this for active pursuits (trail running, ski touring) in below-freezing temps, or low-output activities (window shopping, latte wrangling) into the mid 30's if it's a dry climate.
