My two cents: I have the softshell since a couple of months. Bought it for a fair price from someone who'd only worn it a couple of times, along with the winter thights (which are fantastic, I might add).
I was under the impression that I could wear it a bit more versatile, but simply walking around in it proved not te be a good option (too cold) and neither did cycling around 10 degrees (too hot).
So yeah, it's definitely a winter shell. And as such it only works for me when I'm on the bike, working up a sweat. And like others have stated - then it warms up quickly. Even a couple degrees above zero, I've only needed a baselayer and some arm warmers.
