Silnylon poncho - 
http://www.integraldesigns.com/product_detail.cfm?id=728 (I sweat a lot 
so a poncho keeps me dryer than any kind          of rain jacket does)
Sun hat - http://www.quickhats.com/ah-cream-sand.html
balaclava or watchcap - windproof
Nylon billed cap - 
http://www.wcfanshop.com/servlet/the-783/Nylon-Mesh-Outdoor-Triathlon/Detail
Running shorts - two pair, with mesh briefs
Socks - 4 pair, ankle high, really tight, what's on sale usually wigwam 
or thorlo
Vest - Permaloft vest with decent amount of insulation
Gloves - lightweight/windproof fleece
Shirt - http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___13589
Windshirt - anorak style, 5 oz or less
Polymesh sleeveless shirt
Long underwear - mid-weight top (used for sleeping and edgy - wet/cold - 
hiking)
Long underwear - heavyweight bottoms (used for sleeping and postholing 
through snow)
New Balance 812 shoes, 14EEEE

Pants - I don't carry pants
Early season or Washington anytime I add a permaloft long sleeved jacket

My experience with softshell is that it isn't windproof or waterproof 
enough, and it's heavy...
