It is Gore's windstopper. It is a membrane isn't it.
Gore windstopper uses a plastic membrane, yes.
The actual material that will work best for you has a lot of variables. The climate, do you run hot/cold, do you like layering, etc. If your in a very cold climate, tend not to generate a lot of heat, and hate using a layering approach, then Gore Windstopper may be perfect for you.
My climate is very rarely below freezing, just lots of rain, and i generate a lot of heat. So i prefer the most breathable, least thermal jackets I can find.
Pants....ive never worn waterproof pants. But I may pick up some mec materproof tights this winter and try them.
