Why would you want a ski coat that's not waterproof? Go with Gore-Tex Pro Shell, which is found in most of Arc'Teryx's Ascent and Descent lines.

If you live on the East Coast and recreate in heavy rain, freezing rain, snow, wet snow, sleet, etc. then a Gore Pro Shell is nice as a carte blanche against wetness. However, if you live in the drier west (particularly the Rockies or Wasatch) then there are very few days that you will actually need Pro Shell. As the above reviewer mentioned this is a much stretchier, more breathable and quieter piece then Pro Shell could ever be as a result of the fabric and membrane.
