What is the difference between the Leadville and the Sharp Point? I'm looking for a soft shell that will provide some warmth during the fall and winter but can be used for runs in the cold. How breathable are each, which would you recommend for outdoor activities but at the same time can be used casually for some warmth.

The Sharp Point is made completely of windstopper fabric with a fleece backing, so it is the warmer of the two. The Leadville uses a lighter windstopper fabric on the front and back and has air permeable fabric on the side panels for breathability. The Leadville is not as warm, but more breathable. It sounds like the Leadville would work best for you.
