Cheers for your responses guys. I was maybe a bit vague with initial post so apologies. Anyway, the skiing part is not important as it is only a week away with the kids. I was also a bit general with the Softshell term and I am fully aware of the different versions and fabrics which are classed 'soft'. I love my kit and enjoy doing the research on the new products. I have a good selection of stuff including shells, buffalo top, older softshells etc etc. I really just want to take advantage of the fact my wife is expecting me to get some new kit for the holiday. Yee ha! I don't want ski specific but something for general wear and some good old Scottish winter walking(cold,crisp days, blue skies!!!). I think my main gripe is the lack of stockists of a good range of ME and more so Marmot kit up here in Scotland or online. I have a bit of a rugby player physique, big across the shoulder and arms and find it a struggle with fit in these areas and with some manufacturers have to go for XL. I like the look of the Zion and appreciate an outer shell might still be required in certain conditions. I am covered for that. So if anyone would like to open an outdoor clothing shop in the Dunblane area and stock everything I like the look of so I can try it on then please do. Even better I will come and work for you. Cheers.
