Kappa, Gamma, or Venta - trying to decide on a cold weather jacket for outdoor activities and general cold weather wear here in sunny Michigan. I use the Sidewinder AR as a shell when skiing, but would like something not quite so crinkly, and something that might even double as a layer, but be good in its own right. Really like the looks of the Kappa, but wanted to get comments on warmth compared to some of the softshells.

Venta SV/AR is a geat all around jacket, provides some decent loft/insulation and a nice soft feel- only thing is it is not the best for layering underneath. Kappa AR provides great insulation, is also soft to the touch but is only mediocre as a stand alone shell (the collar is cut quite short). I am not sure which Gamma jacket you are looking at. But I would recommend picking up a Hyllus jacket or Firee jacket. Both will suit your needs better than the choices you have listed
