I just had the Outdoor Research Winter Ferrosi in my hands. It is a breathe softshell with 80 grams Thermore insulation. It is light, breathable, and water/wind resistant. I see this as an outer layer when it's cooler out. The outer fabric is also soft and should be quiet. I found them online for $131. I may snag one and try it out.

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
