All ive used for 15 years is a snugpak softie jacket and a army gortex dpm waterproof jacket over the top and ive never once been cold or gotten wet. I wouldnt use anything else. If its really cold i wear some woolpower merino wool thermals underneath.

That's a great combo, I now use an SJ6/SJ9 with an US ECWCS jacket over the top, perfect. I like the layering cause when the outer gets wet you can take it off and still be warm but not be sat in wet jacket for hours. I can also confirm the SJs are definitely not waterproof!

had the flac tarn years its all i use, its very good and strong and when the zipp fail they can click back in ,much better than my 2 british dpm goretex i had before, the flac tarn outer layer does wet out easy, it doesnt really bead well,, and gets a little more heavy like this when wet, but its strong, its goretex base layer is the sweet spot,its 100% waterproof even after prolonged downpour, i have had mine from a new sealed pack, and used it in really bad weather, work partys, allotment etc,
