This is a great garment for high-altitude mountaineering. I wore it on my climbs to +5000 m peaks, and it delivered. It has an athletic cut, its durable, warm, and acts as a good windstopper. I wore it on -20C and felt great. I never wore it on rainy days, though. Downside is no underarm zipper for ventilation, which is a must for any mountaineering jacket.

Hey Almir,
that all depends on what you intend to wear underneath. Due to the wool it is a bit warmer than a "normal" softshell, but it would requite an additional layer of insulation underneath. Then its a good jacket for that temperature range if you keep moving...
Best regards,
Max
