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.

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.

Yes it depends on conditions and everyone's ways with gloves.
I could conpare the way they work to a windproof get with alpha insulation. Even wet they still create some sort of air layer that keeps your body/hands warm. Because there is no membrane they tend to dry quicker with the wind
