If it helps, a friend wears an REI E1 windproof shell, I think its been discontinued but the basic windproof design was rolled into the REI Taku that Izzy swears by earlier in this thread. So does my friend, he has been comfortable in wind and cold up in the Enchantments, on 50 milers, Philmont etc. I am naturally cheap and will stick to my solution, but maybe you get what you pay for and $189 isn't a bad price for windproof comfort.
