Do you wear your soft shell clothing directly over your underwear or longjohns, or do you also wear shirt and trousers? Also: most soft shell jackets don't include a built in hood...so what type of headgear do you wear to keep your noggin dry? |

It is safe to say it depends. I would layer based on conditions and activity. I do not consider soft shells rain gear, so a wool watch cap is what I keep in a pocket of the soft shell. It is becoming easier to find jackets with hoods, but I would still continue to carry a wool cap. Something similar to the TAD photo.

Ah, I see. I'd imagine that htey are sized to fit over the base and insulating layers, so they'd be big enough. BUT you'll want to try them on with the layers you expect to be wearing. And like everything else, every company probably makes theirs a little different. |
| I wear my softshells true to size. I rarely layer them with something bulky because i only wear softshells when i expect serious aerobic activity and insulation isn't needed. Most softshells will have a bit of stretch to go over light insulation (light fleece, cotton) anyway. |
