Hi, I'm always cold... but sweaty too. I need to try a synthetic jacket that will handle extreme cold negative temps with even more frigid windchills with stop and go activity. I'm on my horse, so shedding a layer every time I gallop and putting it back on to walk is not on option. Water resistant and ways to vent are essential too.Could this jacket work for me? If not, do you have one that will?

This will help as a layering option for you. A good base layer, this coat, then a shell is what I recommend.Hey Jennifer, I'm in the same boat as you (always cold). I love this jacket, but it is definitely not something for extreme negative temps (I was chilly with this over a sweatshirt and long sleeves when it was in the 20s). I'd consider this to be more like a water- and wind-resistant fleece, not a sub for a warmer coat.
