A friend just gave me a Mountain Hardwear G50. I always figured I would get a baselayer, softshell, and a rainshell to cover most of my upper layers since I want to do light alpine climbing and I already rock climb. I put it on in my house for a while and it was warm but I really expected to get hot in it. I figured that it would be made for colder conditions and i would get hot just wearing it in the house. I havnt worn it in the cold yet.
So am I mistaken that softshells are supposed to be warm or is it really just that good at adjusting to temperatures?
