As good as a softshell can be IMHO

I think this jacket/shirt is great in cool weather. I went on a 10 mile day hike in 35 degree weather last weekend with a light weight base layer underneath and it was perfect. I never felt the need to take it off because of overheating. If I were to be out overnight in it, I would pack a wool sweater or something to go underneath it. I previously thought that soft shells were worthless - too light for the cold and to warm to move in, but this one is just right.
