If I could only buy one new jacket, should I invest in a hardshell or softshell? One climber told me that most people only wear a hardshell about 5% of the time, but what about night time? I have an old snowboarding jacket I can wear at night and for glissading if I have to, so maybe I should just get a good softshell for now. What do you think?

This is a good second climb. One of my favorites.
