"My team used the jackets in late March at Eureka, Ellesmere Island under very cold conditions (~ -30C or colder with wind chill); about the only thing that kept warm while conducting field research were parts of the body directly protected by the jackets while our legs, feet, and hands eventually succumbed to the cold! So we were very happy and even grateful for the jackets under severe Arctic winter conditions!
We also used the jackets during our early May expedition to Axel Heiberg Island at the McGill High Arctic Research Station under late Arctic Winter conditions (temperatures ranged from -5C to -20C). Again the jackets were super, we were never cold while out in the field for 4-8 hours at at time and we did not "overheat" when the temperature increased to the -5C range."
