My winter jacket is from Decathlon, which is a French sporting goods store. It's fleece lined, reasonably water resistant (only gets wet inside in very heavy rain) and pretty breathable. I wear it from late November-early March, as it's good for temperatures between about -5 to 10. Warmer than that - it's too warm. Colder than that - I don't know, maybe it'd work, but it doesn't get that cold here.
