The best Water & Windproof Jacket you can suggest?

[bagusbagus]

Basically I'm starting a new job in a place where I will have to spend most of the day outdoors in freezing -10c ,up to -30c weather with high winds and some occasional cold rain to top it all off...and I need some Protection in a form of excellent windbreaker/something waterproof as well with good hood and overall just excellent build quality. I'm too Poor to buy the cheap stuff ,so need something good that will last me for a while and will do its job.

My current combo Is a merino baselayer/ 1 or 2 cashmere sweaters/ light down jacket , now I need something to go over all that so the damn Wind doesn't blows away all the warmth I have inside and just creates a nice environment to be in. I will be riding my bike as well sometimes so need something that isn't super bulky and you still got good range of motion.
What brands/exact models would you suggest for a task like this?
Have never bought stuff like this before so Have no idea whatsoever what is good and what's not...

Buffalo Parka

Mountain jacket

Not in the least "Jack Wolfstein"

You may have to rethink your base layer though, buffs work by wicking vapour/moisture away

They are pricy but the Buffalo is an awesome bit of kit.

Love mine.

I take you're not after a cycling jacket?

Buffalo is good kit. Keela Munro?

I've got one of these: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/mountain-equipment-men...

Maybe with a Rab jacket or similar underneath?

To be honest giving the description of what it's needed for a cycling specific jacket probably won't cut it!

Very specialist kit required for -30c, don't think a Gabba will be cut it

Pick anything described on Wiggle as "breathable". You'll be marinating in your own sweat inside five minutes.

I hve the non hood version of this so cant comment on the hood but the jacket is light, waterproof, breathable and windproof. I've been really happy with it so far.

and I’ve got an older version of that Gore jacket with zip on hood. It’s fantastic, I gad one for ten years before that and it was just as good.
I think I got it for £139 reduced from £250.
