How does this jacket compare to the MHW Windstopper Tech jacket? The R4 feels soft, real soft, the MHW doesn't seem as warm, which would you say is a better jacket?

This jacket is a fair bit heavier than the MHW. You're correct in assuming that the MHW would not be quite as warm. That being said, your sorta comparing green apples to red apples. Each is a great jacket, but the R4 will certainly give you more warmth. But if you spend a lot of time in a windy climate and just need to block the wind, the MHW is an excellent jacket. If you're looking to do something highly aerobic, I'd say go for the MHW. If you want something warmer, go for the R4.
