i think the winter jersey is one of the best things they make
teamed with a base layer and stowaway jacket it will cover you for most eventualities - though of course if it pisses down you will get wet
the winter jersey appears to wick better than the softshell but is slightly less water repellent. but as the softshell gets soaked through in a downpour it does not really offer a great deal more protection
the newer winter jerseys have a lining at the front to make them more windproof
my experience is that if its pissing down it can be better to put the stowaway on under the winter jersey as it slows down the water getting through to you
