Winter Jackets!?

Yo Corny, what made you go for the Softshell 3000 over the Goretex?

I am quite up for one of these puppies, but want to get the right material.

went for the softshell because the blurb on the website see below, seemed to point to that as being the right one for me, I generally tend to not need to wear that much riding in the winter and have survived with just a base layer and an old long sleeved winter castelli top, so didin't want anything that was too thick or sweat inducing.

                      **The softshell 3000 hoodies has bonded fleece breaths better and have a nice four way stretch when compared to the Gore Tex , which is a little more water resistant. The softshell 3000 is great for cold wet weather.**
