So I did read about different fabrics and jackets, there seems to be not so much available between softshells (mostly too hot for me), windbreakers (rain?) and rain jackets (winter?). I did find Schoeller C-Change fabric, which sounds interesting or similar to Gore Active membrane.
Also wrong thread probably now.
Madhias-
What weather is it for? Try a polartec fleece. Wind pro, streachpro.
Breathable, warm, warm when wet.
Windpro hardface has a dwr coating.
I wouldn't want to get them wet and be wet all day, but for an hour or 2 it's ok. -
I don't really enjoy softshells, I like
a medium weight waterproof for days it's raining (gore-tex active or pro)
a lightweight windproof for other days / summer showers (anything cheap, often designed for runners)
skinny

Exactly. I have a Gore Power Trail GT, cost me £65 2nd hand on eBay, in a rather fetching orange colour. I like the cut, perfectly slim for touring and commuting. Great hood too.
