I'm not a fan of Windstopper except for gloves unless you put out only modest effort and only need it for cool conditions.. The stuff doesn't breathe well and the temp range it's useful for is very narrow. On the other hand, I think Gore-Tex Active jackets are quite good for cycling, and the Gore One is excellent, albeit pricey. Two disclaimers:

1) I am a Gore-Tex product tester and receive consideration for sharing my views.

2) I haven't tested a Windstopper product for a few years so they may have improved.

I don't even know how many Gore products I own, but one I personally use and delivers excellent bang for the buck if bought on sale is the Oxygen 2.0 Active jacket. It's light, aero, easily stuffs in a jersey pocket, and is useful in temps from the 20's and up.
