Winter jackets?
Try Buffalo. A special six shirt (short zip) or a mountain jacket (full zip). It does not look very fashionable, but it does what the company says it will do. This is the first company I have found that can say that! Maybe not the best choice for school or work, because you will get strange looks. It just depends on the main use of the jacket. They are not waterproof, but do they need to be? Do you need them for the cold and wind mostly or really for days and days in constant rain?
I had some bad experiences with gore tex. It always leaked. Got my money back each time! Event should be better. Lowe Alpine used to make some in Event. Maybe you can find some old stock or buy second hand. I do not know what company uses Event now.
Some jackets have a zip-in fleece. Maybe a good idea for a winter jacket.
My girlfriend has a packlite smock from berghaus. Good pull-on shirt, but she only wears it when it comes down in buckets. For the rest of the time it is in her bag and she wears a windproof fleece to block all the rest.
I wear Buffalo all the time. Don't care about the looks I get although I don't know if they look at the shirt or my big smile each time it rains...
Here's the link for Buffalo.
