    OK, the Vim hybrid looks more like what I would want. And I can't find the Tuck on sale anywhere. But, I read several reviews that the jacket is not windproof... what's your take on this? Could I wear it as an outer layer in the teens or lower, assuming I had appropriate mid and base layers?
    Last year I thought I had forgotten my GoLite jacket when I went to Craftsbury VT. So, I wore one of my Shaks as an outer layer, until I realized my jacket was buried in the bottom of my suitcase. I was warm enough, but it definitely did not help in the wind.
    Edit to add:
    Deb, my Go Lite jacket is not waterproof at all, just windproof. It definitely is not breathable enough for me. When I "restarted" x country skiing about 6 years ago, my DH ordered it on line for both of us. I really didn't pay too much attention, as frankly I am not a good "researcher" on line for this kind of stuff. He loves doing this kind of research and he barely sweats. What he wears for outdoor activity is much heavier than what I wear. Of course now, I am much more knowledgeable.
    Too many choices.
