Goretex is more waterproof, but when wet is actually a horrible ventilator. Hmmm, isn't that when you want ventilation? Anyway I have a Gore Bike Wear jacket I got back a few years ago. Instead of a nylon outercoating it has "dots" fused to the laminate. Makes it super breathable, but not very durable. I only use it when I have to and it still works great, for now. Be careful with the term waterproof for bike apparel, it needs to breath well to or you will just end up getting soaked from yourself. Usually highly water repelent is the way to go.
