my wife says these aren't as warm as what we were expecting. i have a pair of the artic extremes, and she loved wearing mine, but they are WAY too big for her. unfortunately they don't make those in womens sizes, so we got her the next warmest thing.

we bought these so we could take our jeep out in the winter with no top or doors. unfortunately, they don't block enough wind and keep her warm enough, so i still have to do it solo.

they would probably do well sitting around a campfire when the temps are down in the 30s, but very cold weather, or high winds, and you may end up wishing for more.

fit was fine, and build quality is top notch, as is most carhartt stuff, but for this to be the warmest thing they make for women, it was a little dissapointing.
