[Closed] Non-sweaty windproof jackets?

I feel a bit kinky admitting this, but I sometimes wear just a softshell jacket* when it's too warm for a jersey and jacket but too cold for just the jersey.

It's quite invigorating.

*and shorts of course.

I have a Mountain Equipment softshell which is great on the bike - it's their Exolite fabric which is one of those stretch double weave materials. It's a neat close fit, velcro cuffs (I find these invaluable for temperature adjustments on the bike) and no hood.

It isn't totally windproof but it's close enough to do the job whilst being WAY more breathable than anything which is 100% windproof, especially anything with a membrane. So that's what I'd look for, a similar fabric in a roadie cut.
