I've got one in orange. It's a great winter jacket, but yes, it is warm and it will let water through in heavy-ish persistent rain (at least mine does).
I had a protracted to-and-fro with Rapha about this, who insisted me getting wet inside it was down to sweat and the jacket needing re-treating to restore water resistance and breathability. I was mightily dubious about this, but did it anyway (Rapha gave me a £10 voucher for re-proofer that was never in stock) and it made no difference – it still lets rain through, IMO. I still quite like it for cold, crappy weather, though.
