Hello folks,

I think I am in the market for a “semi” soft shell(quiet) set of clothes. Something that is high quality, for all around use. I am not worried about it being super warm, as In recent years layering with the right stuff surely has made all the difference vs. a jacket and bibs 2” thick.

Must Haves: Light in over all weight, with light to moderate insulation, that remains semi water/windproof. This doesn’t need to have a plastic lining, but I’d like it to shed some water.

Annoyances: Fabrics that are the “sticky” Velcro sounding fabric that clings to trees/different textures..am I the only one that hates this?

I may be asking for something that doesn’t exist, but for the first time in my life I want to invest some money into a set of pants/bibs and jacket that are worth a chit.

Am I better off with a waterproof jacket/pants and layer accordingly, or is there something out there that is a fairly weather proof with light to mid weight insulation that still allows layering if necessary?

I appreciate everyone’s time,

MK
