In what temps would i wear these? (climate, warm, temp)

[rlrl]

Hi. I bought a fleece hooded jacket for $17 at target (normally $25). I bought it because of the discount and the style. In what temps would i wear this?

I also bought a jacket with white fleece($10) (looks like a lamb's coat), in what temps would these be warm enough and comfortable in?

these are not full winter coats but the prices were good so i got them but I've never worn them before so that's why I'm asking

You got two jackets. I am not sure where you live, but based on my experience, they will be worn for cooler weather in your neighborhood. I don't think all jackets in these stores are made alike. I've been in CA with their cool weather clothes, and they would not hold up to the same style attire in the northeast. Most so called outdoor attire is only for the looks anyway; a good set of Carhartt coveralls backed by a nice pair of Sorels topped with a silk balaclava under a wool cap will take care of you in sub-zero for hours.

Burlington Coat Factory usually has clothing for cold weather no matter where you live. Of course, if you are a cold weather person, 32 degrees may be just getting brisk, while for warm weather persons, 55 degrees is reason for a parka.

I'm in NYC where the weather gets colder and more miserable with each passing year. I don't like bulky coats because they make me feel ungainly so i decided to get these 2. I know they won't do the trick in sub freezing temps like the coats but since i feel so much better wearing them in the store and the prices were good, i thought I'd get them

I'm guessing they may do the trick at about 40 degrees or above

It sounds like you should try them out at that temp and get back to us on their suitability.

where all my common sense goes. I just wore them outside like you suggested. In the 39 degree weather they still were not adequate but they certainly would be adequate for weather in the 40's or to wear under the coat as part of a stylish layer system on terribly cold days. Also good for wearing inside the office which can get drafty.

Have you even tried them outdoors?
Most parts of the U.S.A. should at least be cold (under 45 F) before sunrise most winter mornings.

My guess is that above freezing with no rain and they should work great.
If you're cold-acclimated, you might be able to handle 20 F.

advice. I don't know if getting older is making me more sensitive to the cold but I was surpsised that they weren't adequate at 39 degrees though i know they certainly would be OK in the 40's. Definitely would not protect me at 20 degrees though!!
