Hi All,

Struggling to slim down a choice of warm(ish) yet breathable softshells for winter hiking in the Scottish highlands/lakes, so generally sub 5°C. I tend to run above average warmth and well above average sweatiness, which is what I'm trying to mitigate.

I'm thinking just a merino/synthetic base layer underneath in higher output cases, adding a mid layer during lower output (Rab Alpha flash, norrona falketind, Patagonia R1, or a lighter alpha 60/90 etc, yet to purchase).

This is my list, budget is ~£250 but I'll wait till post Xmas sales ideally. Some have a half decent amount of information about them online, some very little, but I'd love some feedback of real use cases from you guys and gals if possible:)

• Rab Vapour Rise Alpine Light/Summit
• Mammut Aenergy SO Hybrid Hooded Jacket
• Mammut Eiger Nordwand ML Hybrid Hooded
• Jottnar asger
• Norrona senja alpha90 Hood
• Norrona lyngen alpha100 Zip Hood

5'9" 88kg solid build

TIA🌝
