The gamma sv is going to be a good weather-resistant softshell jacket that provides a fair amount of warmth and a fair amount of coverage. I'm not sure when you sit down if the jacket will actually be long enough to cover your butt - if that is a factor for you. You just need to be aware that this jacket is not 100% windproof (Powershield is ~90%), nor is it waterproof (just DWR treated). If these limitations are OK for how you envision using the jacket then it should be great - this jacket will be very breathable and help prevent overheating and sweating. If you need something more weatherproof - you probably want to look at a hardshell jacket.
