I wanted something cheap and reliable so many of the softshell stuff is ridiculously expensive IMHO. I'm getting tired of having to take two different jackets to ride. One for the morning and one for the afternoon and having to layer enough to keep warm but then sweating like a pig half way to work in the morning so I thought hhmmmm I can get a softshell that will keep a bit of the fog or rain off in the morning. I hope the one I ordered from Performance fits the bill. Frappin REI has discontinued the Headwinds stuff. I got the pants last fall and I love them. If it gets really cold a baselayer under them works great to keep me warm otherwise at between 28 to 40 degrees they are perfect and a bit water resistant they really keep the wind off.
