I personally wouldn't use it in anything over 55-60 though (depending on the amount of wind), because it can get you pretty warm quickly.

+1 on this jacket. Not sure what your winters are like, but you can use that jacket for even the coldest of cold days (the teens and twenties) and it's great for spring and fall too. And I agree, it's warm, much warmer than a standard vest.
