this jacket feels comfortable at a varied and extensive temperature range. it's very light and airy and compressible. breathes terribly well, and in a freezing windy 29degrees this jacket coupled with a capilene base layer and a fleece r3 hat, should keep you very warm.
(the first negative comment on Patagonia--a co. i love for its core values activism and gear: on certain gear (size small were my samples)there seems to be little attention to detail. Patagonia may say that this is because their gear is for rugged lifetime wear and it doesn't affect the function of the jacket for instance; plus, the quality material and construction are guaranteed for a lifetime... however, as i was saying, it seems that some of the m's light weight r4's have a visibly crooked chest zipper stitching, flack fleece, asymetrical seam unions, and zipper teeth of that are the wrong color... unfortunately i found this to be the case in a stainless and royal lwr4 in size small.
