Hello CPF'ers --
I want to buy myself a nice new jacket
for the cold outdoors.
I want it to be made of " modern " materials,
so it's warm withOUT being really HEAVY.
Thinsulate ? Goretex ? other ?
And something that can " Breathe " when I'm active.
( which, at my age (62) , doesn't happen very often )
Would really be nice if it's a bit Water-Repellent, also.
Certainly I've tried shopping online for this,
but became Very Quickly OVERWHELMED ! ! !
Any suggestions ? ? ?
Please be specific.
Dont' simply say: " Check out Eddie Bauer ".
Cuz' that alone is SOOOO confusing !
Has to have a built-in HOOD.
Pockets
Zipper front
Would be really nice if it's not just Boring BLACK in color.
Thank you for your assistance.

UPDATE --
Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions so far !
Want to add that I'm located roughly between
Chicago, Illinois and Indianapolis, Indiana.
So we certainly get COLD in the winter !
And my budget ?
Whatever it takes, I will consider it !
I really like Versatility.
So it can be suitable for Fall and Spring,
as well as Winter !
