As long as I was remaining active, the uberlayer kept me a perfect temperature during the entire hike. I found myself far too hot, actually sweating, wearing both my ascendant jacket and my uberlayer so I shed the ascendant. The temperature was a cold 15 degrees f with 10-20mph winds as I kept a good pace trudging through snow up ridges and along rivers. I was wearing a t-shirt baselayer, an ascendant jacket, and my uberlayer over top. The real test came during a snowy 8 mile trek along the Canadian border. If it's very cold and windy I simply layer underneath it. The breathability and protection from the elements is perfect for northern Minnesota winters on Lake Superior. I knew I loved this jacket as soon I received it but it has since surpassed all expectations. The Uber packs away pretty well into it's stuff pocket, although it's not the most comfortable function of the piece I just feel like I'm going to tear the zipper when I'm stuffing it into itself. I wear this all year round, outside of Summer-not too hot, not too cold.
At the higher end of this range, The Uber is all that is needed aside from a t-shirt, just vent as needed when moving around. (That gets you to 4 pieces to pack away (on top). If you're standing or sitting and get cold, throw on the final piece of an outer shell and you're good to go. At the lower end of this range, with a base layer, mid layer, and then The Uber, it works well if you're on the move if the wind is blowing hard, put the hood up and synch it down. The UBER performs well at temperatures from freezing through the 40's (F) when paired with other items. I chose this jacket to be part of a system, and this item helps to limit the number of pieces required to meet most my needs in the wilderness. The Uberlayer Hooded Jacked, or "The Uber," is a wonderful piece of kit. Shop Women's Koolaburra by UGG® Search Within Women Search
