In the search for a resolution to my constant dithering for a winter(ish) jacket I'm now looking at the Classic Wind Jacket.
Which I think used to be the stoaway jacket or something. I was put off the Classic Softshell Jacket when the discount was on as I tend to run quite hot.
My main issue at the moment is the cold/wind on my chest when riding. So I am umming and ahhhing between getting a cheap softshell gilet or possibly the Classic Wind Jacket. The logic of the Classic Wind Jacket is that it should stop the wind and be warm enough with a jersey +base layer underneath. Also it would mean having a nice rain jacket.
Any thoughts on 1) how wind-proof it is, and 2) how breathable it is?
Cheers.
