softshell jackets

Does anyone out there have any experience with a softshell windbreaker that will work well for a morning ride that is somewhere between 25 to 40 degrees. It was 31 this morning and 60 this afternoon so I would like to get something that I can throw on over a baselayer of polypro or the like and keep the wind out and not be too hot. I know the softshells are really pricey and my Burly W/b jacket works pretty well over the Hot Chilis but its whole I'd like to throw on one thing and be done with it and just use a light windbreaker in the afternoon during the spring and fall mornings when its cold but not raining. REI had the headwinds pants last fall and I love them but I see they don't carry them or a jacket of the same stuff which would be perfect. I have lots of cold weather gear but I'm getting sick of running three layers and then having to pack them home in the afternoon. Guess I'm looking the impossible?
