I also ordered the claret softshell which arrived yesterday. Tried this morning (one of the coldest mornings so far at, possibly, below 0) and it was very comfy and kept me warm (had two layers underneath to help keep me warm).
The fact that's it is windproof helps a lot, but what I liked more is that it lets my body breathe whereas the Altura one didn't (and ended up sweating by the time I arrived at the office)
True, the Altura was even warmer, but that's because it keeps all the moisture inside.
