This is what I’m thinking as well. I still love the jacket, and it’s still warmer than nothing, so no need to get rid of it…just need something warmer for colder days.
Funny you mention these two specifically…they were two that I came across yesterday and I’m considering. Specifically the OR Superstrand LT or the MH Kor Strata…or possibly considering the MH Ghost Whisperer, but not really sure I want to go to a down layer. Hoodless is mandatory, I really don’t understand how people wear hoods under their shells skiing. I really like OR’s sustainability/environmentally friendly mission that they have going on, one of my personal favorite outdoor apparel brands.
So...I have the OR Uberlayer which is no longer made, but Refuge, I believe, replaces it. Good pocket use and breathable insulation. The MH Kor is close too. But in terms of full function, it's super hard to beat the Patagonia NanoAir as a baselayer jacket. In my experience, worth the premium assuming sale pricing. I used to be able to buy proform and demo, but that's no longer an option for me, so buy most if not all of my stuff via steepandcheap ,campsaver, or Sierratrading unless there is an end of season sale directly through the manufacturer.
I have the Ghost Whisperer 2 and it's my number one puffy hoody. I rarely wear it skiing because it doesn't breath and the hood under helmet is just okay. Has to be super cold before I use a puffy over a synthetic. But it's super light and warm and a great piece. I wear it almost every day as my winter jacket. If you are okay with the lack of breathability, this is what I would buy. It's also my wife's favorite jacket for herself.
I like hoodys because I prefer them under my helmet v. hats/balclavas. Patagonia's/Arc hoods are probably the best for that fit. Easy under helmet fit with different neck guards depending on your shell.
If you don't like the hood, probably don't buy Patagonia or Arc since I think they shine there and likely paying a premium for the hood.
Bottomline, based on your noted, I'd lean to OR's stuff for breathable, or MH ghost whisperer 2 for puffy and all around great piece. (FYI, just checked to see, there's large no hooded OR Refuge on Steep and Cheap right now for $90 and a hooded for $110 which is over 50% off; edited to include womens: there is also an Air REfuge (lighter) for $80, black and blue regular hooded for $110 and winter ferrosi hoodless for $110)
