more help needed! ok, so the softshell I had my heart on,
this jacket from adidas has breathable mesh (but lined with light fleece) underarms and sides. considering I wanted to use this jacket as a winter coat substitute I am thinking this would probably be a problem, am I right? of course I want to have breathability but wouldn't that make the jacket not warm enough for winter (let's say if I get off my bike and am walking a few blocks)? on the other hand, I'm not sure since I have little experience with this. maybe this is a common feature of winter soft shells? I'm also interested in the Foxwear that people have all given great reviews of, but those jackets also seem to have breathable panels. basically, I am wondering, do I need to be on the look-out for something that is totally wind-proof, or are these breathable panels ok?
