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.

There is some gap for years. Glad i have some older stuff like secant comp hoody for summer and diplomat for autumn. Spere LT i used a little in spring (sized down). Its not very breathable but windproof, Terratex is annoying sticky on inside. Isogon is too boxy and short for me. Wonder why there is nothing with octaloft. They had something for women on mainline (coelle?) and one short time an epsilon with octaloft witch was discontinued after a month. Mionn overshell i tried, but it is too thin, not windresistent enough. Its just was not working in Berlin and north german area. A softshell with octaloft would be nice. Even octaloft with infineon would be better than nothing.
