The jacket is definitely warmer than a comparable jacket from a brand like Zara. If you want warmer, you gotta look at brands like the North Face, Helly Hansen, or gen models which cost considerably more.
I chose to go with the $168 version because the seller sent me pics before I pulled the trigger and it looked really good. It's a pretty damn good jacket and I actually have no regrets buying it. And let's be real, it's trendy (even though it's approaching the end of its trend life) and many people here, on a replica watch forum, love trends. If I only purchased items for utility, I'd have saved a fortune throughout my life. Half of this thread is designer wallets, cartier love bracelets, and designer purses and messenger bags. Nobody is shopping for utility here...
