I was leaning towards going to REI and look at their headwind jackets (sound familiar?) after starting to look around on line. My GF has some headwind crosscountry ski pants she liked and I liked the idea of the softshell material in the front and a breathable layer in the back when I remembered Foxwear. He sent me a bunch of fabric samples and helped me figure out what should work best for me, and he's making me a custom sized jacket that should do just what I want for less than the cost of some of the other choices. I can let you know how I like it after the weather and roads get a little better if you'd like.
