I'm really surprised. I don't know exactly what to say. I've been out in -45F with Cloudveil Symmetry pants and the OR Mithril jacket. I was fine. In fact, I had the Mithril unzipped most of the way recently and it was -15F.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer about your softshell situations. I've been in cold and windy situations and been fine. How are you layering them? The Marmot Evolution and Mountain Hardwear Transition won't take a lot of insulation underneath them, but softshells like the Mithril or Loki Lore allow me to wear a lot of insulation.

Softshells are more down-to-earth than I think you think. They can be wonderful for breathability but aren't the fix-all for warmth.
