I use the Cutter Softshell Anorak. Not waterproof, but very water resistant (unless it's a downpour, you'll be fine). It's comfortable and breathable. The asymmetrical zipper zips up (to remove) and down (to vent, when necessary). It has long arms to cover your hands, it also has optional thumb holes. It has a close fitting hood. Downside for me is only one pocket, on chest. They should put side pockets on it. Also, it looks fine off the bike, I don't look or feel like I'm wearing cycling specific clothing. There is a slight drop in the back, long enough for the bike, short enough to not notice off the bike. It's great for layering. On the coldest of cold days I wear a base-layer, a long sleeve winter jersey & the anorak over that, & I'm good to go. I also wear it for general use in the winter, including snow-shoveling. That's my review, below are the company's product page, as well as a link on realcyclist, where it is currently on sale. Good luck with whatever you find.
