I have used Gore Windstopper jackets. They do not "breathe and get rid of sweat".

Gore fabrics allow water vapor to pass, not liquid.

Once you start to perspire heavily it will hold in the liquid. Perspiration has no way to evaporate. This is very dangerous in cold condition. Pit zips and other ventilation can help but it does not change the fact that Gore Windstopper fabrics are not designed for heavy volumes of liquid perspiration.

One who does not perspire much might get away with a Gore Windstopper fabric during heavy exercise but I think they are horrible products for all but light rain protection during more casual rides.
