i haven't worn it outdoors yet, but i suspect the jacket is good down to about the high 30s, possibly less if you layer up. the tag says it's 90/10 down/feather, but when i squeeze the jacket between my fingers i can feel quite a bit of feathers, so it's probably more like 80/20. if you have one of the costco down blankets (Double Black Diamond Packable Down Throw) that are sold for $20, this jacket feels exactly like the costco blanket made into a jacket.
i ordered 2 mediums, and they both weigh exactly 404 grams, which is about 14.25oz. the spec on the website says 13oz. all of my jackets/shirts are mediums, and this one fits a little looser than a normal medium, but i think it's designed that way to accommodate thicker insulation layers to be worn underneath the jacket. for $112, which is what i paid for it after discounts and coupons, it's a little on the higher end of price/value, but i'd buy it again. i definitely wouldn't pay full price for it though.
