Not had a chance to take this anywhere colder than 24oF (-4oc) as yet, and with just a cotton shirt underneath it was absolutely fine. It's a reassuringly heavy, solidly constructed coat long enough to provide plenty of cover for the lower back even when bending and moving around. When fully zipped up and locked down it was still easy enough to stay as mobile as needed.
The hood is cavernous. It literally reached my chin before I adjusted it. In really cold/snowy weather obviously it'll need to go over a hat and the faux-fur trim can be removed if visibility is a concern, so I don't foresee that being any problem at all. In fact knowing you can retreat further inside the hood provides a nice feeling of security.
There are literally pockets everywhere, in shapes and sizes to accommodate whatever you need to carry. All are deep enough to prevent the contents falling out when moving about, and there are stud or zip fastening options to absolutely remove the risk of losing anything critical like a phone, or GPS device.
All in all a sturdy, practical winter coat. Can't wait to take it somewhere colder to really put it to the test.
