Gore SoftShell fabric it guaranteed to keep you dry- it's totally water/windproof. different from soft shell jackets (as a category, not a textile) are usually wind/water resistant, and more breathable and stretchy.

This jacket is made with Goretex softshell fabric, so if it's not waterproof, it's pretty darn close. I've found my softshells to be fine in heavy snow (though I'm in CO, so it tends to be drier snow), it's just the wind that gets me. But that's the trade off for the breathability of softshell fabric.I have the Arc'Teryx Scorpion pants and they've always kept me dry, even when snow melts on me on the lift. I wouldn't take them out in a rainstorm expecting to stay dry, but they work great in snowy conditions.
