As with many jackets, no matter the type, its warmth is dependent on what you're doing while wearing. The more heat you pump into it the more it insulates.

For instance, this weekend was around 25F in the morning, nothing too cold, but cold enough for me to wear this. I wasn't sufficiently warm in it while sitting around making breakfast but as soon as we started packing up camp (packing bags, rolling up tents, etc) I heated right up. I think it would fit nicely under a shell (as long as its not too fitted) as there was plenty of extra room under my shell which I bought an extra size up for layering.

The short length is somewhat annoying but if I wanted a parka, I would have bought one. The bummer with the shortness is that all my other layers hang below the bottom of the jacket. It does lose some feathers but what lightweight down piece of clothing doesn't?

If warmth is the problem I hear the Sub Zero SL with a hood is much warmer and more weather resistant. The flipside is that it's almost $100 more and the length is still the same.
