Thank you all for your replies!
I am not keen on any dead birds - I know little about hiking brands and Arc'teryx seems to be something many people recommend (it means completely nothing to me personally).
@bearbreeder - my whole question is about what "any other decent gear" is! If there is anything else worth considering - I would appreciate info!
Having been sailing for quite a bit of time, I have quickly learnt that the cheap solutions are neither waterproof, nor warm, nor durable and quite useless after one adventure. I somehow assumed that it would be similar here - but I know nothing to argue, so I don't.
@qwert - small clarification, as requested. "Fun-mountain-hiking" refers to hiking any mountains which happened to be where I lived (e.g. Sierra Nevada, Carpathians, Alps). "Fun" refers to not having done any trip longer than 2 days in the mountains and it was never limited to good-weather-only. Rest assured, I know my limits. The plan refers to basic course in climbing in Alps in the summer and later a lot of hiking in winter (not my level for climbing). By hiking I do mean 6-8h on the trail. Later, I want to continue with my climbing adventure. Regardless, "versatility" refers to the type of gear used as middle and outer layers which you consider the most useful in *various* situations. "My Plan" refers to plan of getting sweater + jacket + shell, as opposed to something else (e.g. insulated shell)
@mikebee - thank you so much for your informative post! I think the idea of windshirt is superb, although I am not sure whether it would be enough, e.g. together with heavier base layer, in e.g. windy 15C?
Coming back to the original question - what fleece jackets and shells would you recommend? (yes, I got the point, not dead bird)
What other things like Atom LT do you know? (i.e. windproof, light, compressed jacket)
