I've just got an Endura Stealth (christmas pressie) which is a waterproof softshell and it's done both jobs fine so far. It was warm enough to ride with just a merino base layer on last weekend, kept the melting snow off but I haven't tried it in torrential rain yet.

The best things about it are that it's quite slimming and makes me look like Tron

.......and makes me look like Tron

Does that mean it comes with a disc accessory?

At this time of year I use two jackets. I usually wear two thin layers underneath and a very lightweight Pearl Izumi windproof (£40 from JE James). This keeps me pretty comfortable unless it gets very cold or rains. My other jacket is a GoreTex Paclite (£60 in the sales) which goes on when the temperature really drops or if it's raining. Both pack down really small so I wear one and keep the other in my pack.
