Check out this site (see links on left, "the real softshell concept" and "the best softshell in the world"):
http://www.psychovertical.com/?clothing
that should answer just about any question about softshells and the site has a bunch of other good info as well.
According to Steve House (and the above site, if you read into it properly) your houdini idea is the softshell meathod. You'll be happy to know you're thinking in the right direction after watching the video linked to this site ("Steve House talks gear"):

!SOLD! Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket from 2005 size: L color: green.
Description (from mgear):
The Mountain Hardwear Epic Jacket is the minimalist's answer to storm protection. Utilizing a silk protein to soften the feel of the waterproof/breathable coating, it feels smooth and dry next to your skin.
Features:
* Nylon ripstop shell with Conduit Silk polyurethane coating is waterproof yet breathable; contains silk protein for soft and dry comfort against your skin
* Front mesh venting pockets keep you cool on the approach; Simplex pit zips add to your venting options
* Features one-handed drawcord hem and brim, and a double-flap front zip for superior protection
* Trim alpine cut reduces weight and the possibility of snagging on outcrops
* The micro-chamois lined chin guard won't chafe and the roll away ergo hood comes in handy during downpours
* Laminated cuff tabs with Velcro closures seal up the arms
* Sleeve pocket with water-resistant zipper
Specifications:
* Weight: 10 ounces
* Waterproofing: Polyurethane coating
* Fabric: 100% nylon ripstop
