I might be wrong, but there is no clear outstanding softshell textiles that are better than others. They all depend fully on being taken good care of to perform as intended for a longer period.

Might just settle for a cheap uninsulated one for now.

Patagonia's softshells are expensive but worth the price of entry imo. The tech face r1 line is great for warmth and breathability that isn't bulky and easy to layer. The r2 line bumps that up and is great if you spend a lot of time in snow.
