Chicago being the windy city, this will be a great jacket for the winter since the Gore-Tex membrane is not only waterproof-breathable but also windproof. Do note that the jacket has zero insulation. I think that's great because it makes it a lot more versatile. You can use it as a technical shell with insulating layers in the winter and as a rain jacket in the summer.
