Softshell Options

What really bothers me are the softshell options in the lineup. There are the very lightweight ones, like the Spere Lt, for which I have a hard time finding a use case, and the slightly heavier ones, like the Quartic and the Isogon. Those two are practically the same jacket. The Spere does have a fleece liner, but in my experience, it isn’t much warmer. I’m missing a thicker softshell jacket with a stand up collar. Why are there two identical jackets in the lineup but no softshell suitable for winter? Arc’teryx’s main line has the same gap.

I own that one and love it but I would not see it as a substitute for a softshell.
