Is the DNA Rolando jacket a winter or spring jacket?

I would like to get the rolando jacket but i need something that's gonna keep me warm even at 0 degrees F. It looks like a spring jacket, but I cant really tell from the pics. Would the carbon rod be a better choice?

also, what is better 10000 Water/Windproof or 20000 Water/Windproof?

20k is far better.

the Rolando looks like a really nice softshell, $225 is pricey for that, and I doubt it will be as warm as the Carbon rod.  If I were you I'd get the 20k/20k DNA shell jacket (not the Rolando) and insulate with other layers.
I think the one I'm thinking of is called the Moe.  I have the pants from last year that go with it and they are soooooo waterproof.  Super nice pants.
