This looks like a great alternative to my heavy parka, but I'm curious about its wind blocking ability and temp range.

Pertex Microlight does a good job blocking wind. The Luft should keep you warm to just below freezing on its own and even lower with a shell. If you're looking to replace your parka with a single jacket, this may not be the best choice. It's not going to be waterproof. You may want to explore the Insulated Bombshell or similar items.
