I'm having trouble imagining what kind of use you'd get from a $600 wool ugly (sorry) hoodie that isn't really effective under ten degrees F. I suppose if you were in a survival situation where you needed something lightweight, maybe, but for everyday stuff, well, I could get several things to keep me warm in that temp range for a fraction of that price. I got an ankle-length 100% wool coat from the thrift store for $5.50 that kept me completely warm during the -30F weather last week while I hauled stuff out to the garage. It's vintage, at least fifty years old, and looks like the day it was made. Or you could get a Carhartt coat for in the neighborhood of $100 that would do the trick. 10F is cold, but it's not the kind of cold where you need expensive specialized gear, you know? Of course, I'm a Minnesotan, so my views on that may be skewed.

I suppose if the point is to prove to people that you can spend over $600 on what's essentially a heavy shirt, then yeah, go for it. But that's more buyitforlikes than buyitforlife.
