What are your thought on the catalyst jacket and bibs? I have read several reviews stating that they are not like typical softshells. That they don’t block any wind. Which would be the only reason I would get them.I have the catalyst jacket, solitude jacket, and solitude vest. I don’t think it is your intention to layer the catalyst with the solitude but just in case…..
In my experience the catalyst jacket does not layer well with the solitude jacket. It’s great with the solitude vest but I did not like it under the solitude jacket.
The catalyst is a good stand alone kit. Here in KY I wore the catalyst bibs and jacket probably 70% of the season. In my opinion it’s perfect from 45-65° by either adding or removing layers underneath.

I had been contemplating getting the catalyst vest. I was looking for something with sleeves but, I thought that it may fit my needs wearing it over my merino base layers and a cheap fleece vest, but if the catalyst doesn’t block any wind, I am not interested.
