I've had the Gore Alp X for about five years. I use it as my rain jacket spring thru fall, and my winter shell over various layers (I sized up). I love the thing - for me the fit is great as I am slim with long arms. Mine has an attachment for a hood, which was an optional purchase - I would never wear a hood (vision obstruction), but the current version looks like it may come with one. It wasn't cheap but it's lasted for hundreds of riding days each year so a great investment for me.

I also have the Phantom which I use as more of a cold-weather jersey in a smaller size than the Alp X. Definitely not waterproof though, more for wind and a few sprinkles.
