I have the Gore Soft Shell and love it. It is good with a long sleeve base layer underneath to 25 degrees with no wind. With a t shirt under can wear up to 50. It breaks the wind but nothing is waterproof in that you still sweat and get wet a bit. I am a runner too and use the jacket for that. It is basically like my old Frank Shorter gortext jacket but the shell is softer and not so nylon like if that makes sense. Paid around $120 for it one of the best items ever bought for cycling.
