If you're not looking for a rain jacket, I think it's good though I don't own one. Just speaking from experience of others that I heard whilst working with these products.

Infinium is not a waterproof, just windproof but it will keep out a light shower and is more breathable than a 3 layer waterproof.

And warm when wet. I like infinium since I got the Sportful gloves that I think Glws recommended.

Thanks for the explanation, I guess it is more insulated than just a windbraker. It sounds like a softshell with windbraker function. Which strictly rain jacket would you recommend? Doesn't matter which brand!
@Glws As I read right now gloves are even mentioned more than once on the gore-tex info webpage, and @snoops confirms, so I am going to get Infinium gloves for spring/fall – now I don't use gloves until it gets so cold and then I use thick winter gloves.

Got a mail about new products, which is interesting maybe: Brevet Infinium Jersey
I did like the Gore-Tex Active material, I had a jacket from Gore in the past which was apart from its fit / size the best one I have ever had: more or less ok for wet weather, more or less breathable. I see Rapha switched to Active from ShakeDry with some products? How is Infinium?
Now I have a 100% rain jacket (from Resolute Bay) and a windbraker (DeMarchi). The windbraker is almost always perfect, light rain, never too hot inside, just open to get some fresh air. At some point I'd like to replace the Resolute Bay jacket, which is just a little bit too bulky / big / 'normal'.
