This jacket is a shell, it does not provide any warmth beyond trapped body heat. Dont expect to throw this on over a t-shirt and be comfortable in cold weather. The jacket is completely impervious to wind/water/snow, pretty much anything you can throw at it. I normally use 2 layers under the shell, a mid-weight The North Face vaporwick long sleeve shirt and North Face 1/4 zip softshell. This combo has kept me warm in the worst conditions.

I agree mesh on the vents would be nice AND would match the vents on the 3l hover jacket. But my legs tend to stay warm even with just a shell, and I've never had to open the vents. Combined with the 3l jacket this is an invincible combo. I'd recommend a light or mid-weight base layer if your legs get cold.
