Honig's carries Gore WindStopper, which is actually not Gore Tex. Gore Tex is the name of Gore's water/windproof laminate.

Windstopper has some water resistance, but is not waterproof. However, it is windproof and it's great on a cold day. It is more breathable than Gore Tex. I have a Gore WS pullover from Honig's, and it's great. Just don't expect it to be waterproof as it isn't and it's not supposed to be either.

I had one of these once, and it was ok, but not really what I'd call waterproof. More water resistable than then Windstopper though:
