I use mine for warmth when the temperature is below 25 degrees - makes a huge difference. Would replace in a heartbeat if lost.
In the Pacific Northwest context - I don't use it for rain or if the temperatures are much above 25.
Only thing is we very rarely get any precipitation here when it is that cold. Usually the winter temps stay above freezing when we have wet weather and it is clear when temps fall below freezing.
