Winter Riding Jackets - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I am looking to buy a winter riding jacket, for commuting and what not.

I am living in Paris, so it will be getting cold, and wet at times. From
surfing around, and reading a few posts here, I am interested in the Race
Face Aquanot, the Sugoi Bosui Vapour Urban II, and the Roach Indy Jacket.

If you have anything good, or bad, to say about these jackets, I would like
to know. Additional suggestions are welcome.

As of now, I am leaning towards the Aquanot. I like the underarm zip's and
the velcro wrist cuffs. I can't stand elasticized cuffs.

Thanks

Alex

Yeah, I noticed that on Sugoi's Urban II, the Ultimate has velcro
cuffs but appears to be discontinued. The zip vent has two sliders and
opens from the elbows to the waist. Nice feature but the zipped
pockets aren't very convenient as they're not accessible from the
outside.

It keeps me dry. It's not insulated but is cut to fit over layers.
