I've got me two softshells.
One I've had for a while is TNF Cipher Windstopper, it's really lightweight and does what it's supposed to which is stop the wind from getting to you. It's fairly good a keeping out the wet too. Wore this walking to work everyday and only a torrential downpour penetrated it! picked this up new at £125.
My other, recent addition, is the Berghaus Badile softshell. Have worn it out during the snow period just after New Year through Alva Glen, and have worn this up Stuchd an Lochain and Meall Ghaordaidh. In Alva it was blowing an absolute gale, and only hvaing a base layer on underneath I was both warm and dry, thanks to it's thermal, almost fleece-like lining. Because of this it is a heavier jacket and cant see me wearing it if the weather keeps going the way it is. Picked this up in Cotswold for the tidy sum of £100.
