I'm looking to buy a new jacket for hiking/traveling during winter in Australia for temps between 8c to 15c and possibly in windy and rainy conditions.
I noticed that snow jackets tend to be cheaper than soft shell jackets and that they are waterproof and wind resistant, so I was wondering what issues I would face if I use a snow jacket?

It would probably work and some of it will just depend on your preferences. Possible issues may include,
- Too much insulation causing you to overheat and sweat and become uncomfortable, doubly so if the jacket is not breathable.
- Bulkier and heavier than it needs to be.
- Several layers instead of one large jacket works better for variable temps.
Like I said a lot of that will depend on you and how much of a jacket you need to feel comfortable.
