This probably doesn't help much unless you have some experience, but I've made a number of wind shirts from modified rain/wind parka patterns (e.g. old REI and Green Pepper patterns).
Skip all the doo-dads, shorten the body, then combine the remaining parts into just a few pattern pieces. I get one big piece for the back/arms, one for the front (cut two pieces), one for the hood sides (cut two), one for the hood top/back. Add 1/2" elastic for the cuffs and a #3 zipper.
Since there are so few pieces you can sew one in no time. Don't forget to sear the edges (carefully!).
