I have the Touring. I bought it for multipurpose rain/cold shell for touring and commuting.

I've used it for a dry-weather shell down to 40F with just a merino base under it and colder with additional layers.

Above 55-60F, I tend to sweat more than it can vent so I get damp inside, but it's not so cold that I'm uncomfortable. The pit zips make it usable, without them, it'd be a sauna suit for me.

It was heavier than I anticipated from all the reviews I read, but it's not terribly heavy and it's been durable for the year I've had it. I'll be taking it to the CA/OR border area next month, so I'll have a better idea how it does up there, but by then, I guess your decision will have been made.
