I use merino base layers, then micro-fleece middle layer when it's cold, or I'm sitting. The windstopper mid layer is what I hoped might work, but it won't do as much as as my Marmot or Patagonia water-resistant wind-stopper outside shells. The hiking shells are highly adjustable with cinches all over the place. Of course they are all Yellow and Red way too noisy, but otherwise perfect for me.
