I love everything about this jacket except that I want a hard shell and pit zips. What would you recommend? Please, I've looked everywhere but everything I've found either doesn't have pit zips, a hood, enough pockets or thick enough fleece inside.

There's no such thing as an all-in-one jacket. Buy the Hercules for the perfect on-the-move, breathable midlayer, and pair it up with the Alpha LT (which is 100% wind and waterproof) when the weather gets real nasty. Most of the time, you're burning up so much, all you'll need is the Hercules (which breaths way better than most softshells). It's a big investment but it's worth it for a match made in heaven. Shop around and you should be able to find them half off at some point.

The closest you'll get is the Venta SV- pit zips, taped seam Windstopper (next step is Gore-Tex) and a hood. The Venta has 100 wt fleece inside. The Hercules breathes really well so pit zips are not needed. It will block about half the wind and shed light moisture. It also makes an amazing layer with a light Gore Jacket (see Phil's comments)
