A softshell layer is perfect for very changeable conditions, and using a waterproof shell isn't really warranted. Softshell excels where you want breathability and freedom of movement, combined with a degree of weather protection. Softshells are wind and water resistant and a generally more breathable than a waterproof. It really comes into it's own when moving fast above the snowline, either mountaineering, winter walking or ski touring.
