I wore it in Chicago and was very warm wandering around the windy city at 30 degrees + wind chill.
It's not exactly good for crash protection, but great for wind protection while riding. If safety is a concern, get a thin riding jacket at a bike shop to wear over it as a shell. I have an Icon Merc that I sometimes wear over it.
I have the same jacket/boots/getup except I do have a shaved head, and I listen to punk/oi/ska etc and like to drink and well, drink.

That jacket is warm!
