I didn't actually have a windbreaker, so I guess I could say I "needed" it. On the other hand I've used, and sworn by, my Gore Phantom jacket/vest for almost all weather conditions ranging from sub-freezing to almost summer.
Softshell is really nice for all purposes except packing into a small space.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
