Winter softshell jacket recommendations

Bought a Perfetto convertible in a sale towards the start of the year.

I was sweaty and roasting in it (wearing a dirt-cheap Planet X long-sleeved baselayer underneath) on my 9.5 mile ride to work last week when temps started at 7C and were down at -0.3C by the time I got near work.

I do naturally run hot, but I didn't feel the cold at all even before I'd started pedalling (and in lesser items I usually do).

I also own & can recommend a convertible Gore Phantom 2.0 windstopper softshell (bought 2014) that's excellent and warm with or without a base layer.

Another vote for the Galibier Mistral. https://galibier.cc/product/mistral-foul-iv-weather-jacket/

Read the reviews and believe every word. Best bit of cycling kit I've ever bought.

7mesh Corsa or Parentini Mossa - be different! Etxeondo Summum when it's proper brass monkeys!

I have a RH+ alpha padded jacket, its good down to -5 to +12. Keeps me warm and toasty

I wear the PlanetX Magma when it starts to get cold. The body in a nice snug fit and the arms are a little loose so you can also wear arm warmers underneath if needed.

If you run warmish the Alpha jersey should work well.

Galibier's Mistral and/or Mistral Pro are both great. I say and/or as you could pick up both for the price of some of the other stuff being mentioned here.

Depending on baselayers, I wear a LS Gabba/now perfetto down to about 5 degrees and am just about warm enough.

However, I've found that the Alpha jacket (the one with the double front) is a bit better for cold days up in Scotland as the lining gives it a bit of extra insulation, but its nice being able to unzip the outer fully when riding up hill without exposing your sweaty baselayer to the chill. An alpha with a Flanders LS will see me down to about zero. Any colder and its double baselayer time. 

I've found the BTWIN 500 Warm Cycling Jacket from Decathlon to work okay below 10 degrees, tend to get it out when the baselayer, short sleeve gabba and arm warmers combination starts to not be quite enough.

It's not the most breathable so not ideal if you're going out beyond a couple of hours, but on the other hand is a bargain compared to some competitors. Also I've had it a few years and it's still going strong so good longevity. 

DHB soft shell from wiggle is good and doesn’t cost the earth, unlike a lot of soft shells.

Perfetto does me down to pretty low single figures, just use a short or long sleeve base layer to regulate the temperature, the Alpha jacket has lined sleeves and can be too warm unless its really cold

Recent Perfecto user here, really like it, "perfect" for the temperatures right now, once it gets chillier the Pearl Izumi elite pursuit will be worn, did me right down to the beast last March.

I’ve happily used a long sleeve Gabba (now Perfetto) for years, with a long sleeve merino base layer (endura baabaa) down to around freezing.  I tend to run hot as well.  I’ve also got an Alpha jacket that is good for even colder with a short sleeved baabaa.

Stolen Goat Orkaan looks good, I’ve never tried one, but I do have one of their long sleeve jerseys which I’ve enjoyed.
