Same, I've had a Rapha Hooded Rain Jacket for years but its too old for wet rides now and had the Rapha Commuter hooded jacket for a couple of years now.
The commuter jacket is in no way breathable, but its fine as long a the temp isn't above about 10c, the arms of the jacket do let rain in after an hour or so if its proper raining.
I have just bought one of there gore tex mountain bike hooded jackets in the sale but not had a chance to use it yet.

I've had the Rapha Hooded Rain jacket as my main commuter jacket for the past few years. I'd say it hits a pretty decent sweet spot between water resistance, stretchability and breathability.
How would I get on with the Rapha Commuter? It's a bit cheaper, so what's the quality that I will get less of? Breathability?
