Looks like 5s to me. Talking to guys at Ft Drum and from my experience backcountry skiing, soft shells are fine in cold and windy so long as you layer with primaloft or fleece etc (or a Lv 3 midlayer). Lv 6 type shells (Arcteryx, PCU or whatever) tend to be overkill nowadays in all but the harshest weather.
It'll be lv 5 for me looking like Stay Puft with lots underneath for me in a couple weeks in Picton.
