Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
While it offers good insulation with its 100g fleece lining, it is best suited for moderate to cool temperatures. For extreme cold, it is recommended to use it as a midlayer under a more insulated outer shell or wear a warmer base layer underneath.

How should I choose the right size?

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider trying a larger size or checking the product's specific size chart. If used as a midlayer, ensure the outer shell is not too constricting.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Check the Helly Tech Protection outer layer for damage. Ensure all seams and zippers are properly sealed. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the jacket's water-repellency has diminished significantly after multiple washes.
Fleece lining is not warm enough.
This jacket is designed as a midlayer or for moderate conditions. For colder weather, wear a warmer base layer underneath or layer it under a more insulated outer jacket.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
