The US Army Gore-Tex Extreme Cold and Wet Weather Jacket is made with Gore-Tex and is the level 6 jacket part of ECWCS worn as an outer layer with room for thermals and fleece.  We like the lightweight very compact hard-shell layer that offers waterproof breathable protection for both cold and wet weather conditions. It's not just for winter, this makes a great spring rain jacket too. Features like the adjustable hood, cuffs, draw strings and front zipper vents are features that you will notice.  Note: If you're not planning on heavy layering order one size down and you will still have plenty or room.
