If you're looking for cold weather, I would scratch the Sugoi Zap from the list. It's a beautiful jacket, but not insulated, just a windbreaker. The Neo looks similar to me, but I don't have any first-hand experience with it.
I like the looks of the Verita.....for a rain/wind jacket. Again, no insulation, but it's eVent *drools* If you're quite warm-blooded, this might be an option.
The Tempest looks similar in construction to the Novara Headwind, which I really liked except for its dark back. I like a little more visibility...
I've been looking for a hi-viz winter jacket too. I love my Pearl Izumi Gavia, but it's just too dark for me to feel safe a lot of the time. So far, the only option that I've found is the Gore Phantom. I'm interested to see what suggestions others may have.
