A matter of opinion: I find that product to be uncomfortably stiff and wouldn't wear it even if it was given to me as a present!

But as always, your mileage may vary.

P.S. That Condor-thingie looks rather nifty!

I got one for Xmas. Wore it during the snow in January and it was fine. At the coldest point, I was wearing it with a thermal T-shirt and thought I was going to over-heat.

I like softshells- they're better than a heavier Gore-Tex jacket in most weather conditions. Unless it's really cold (below -2C for me) or raining like you wouldn't believe, I'd take the softshell.
