I have a fleece lined Carhartt that I have had a few years, and it can be warm. Carhartt has also came out with a soft shell line of jackets that look like they are very warm, I think those go for around $120. I have a North Face soft shell I bought last winter, and it kept me warm as long as I had a sweater on underneath, and these were on days in the single digits. I just picked up another high end soft shell at a thrift store, and it looks like it will be warm as well.

They are warm down to any tempurature I'll be working outside in. Working outside in the winter sucks though, I really don't look forward to it.

My Carhartt stuff has held up very well and it's been beat up pretty good. I've also got some L.L. Bean stuff, probably more of a New England thing, that I've had for more than 20 years and it still in good shape. Unfortunately a lot of the yuppies buy the stuff so they can appear "outdoorsy" but it is durable and they offer a lifetime replacement on most of their line (thanks in part to the yuppies who never wear the stuff enough to wear it out
 ).How warm do you need it to be? I've got some fleece pullover jackets I use for knocking around in cooler (not cold) weather and they're nice and light, pretty warm and cheap enough that I don't care if they get stained/ruined.

Thats a good question. I have worked on boats outside when the windchill was probably -5ish. 15-20 without. Thats miserable, nothing works, and after an hour or so your done. Plus your hands stop working.
I recomend staying inside if at all possible, when its that cold.
