only had the white at first but it gets annyoing wearing all the time
 
I've got a black Columbia windbreaker that I wear when its raining.

Brown suede looking Chaps coat for when its cold.

Kohls has a Columbia coat that I really want but I can't justify spending $200 on a coat. I always buy my coats off season, so I rarely spend more than $50 on one.
 
OP - that EMS jacket is really just a shell, probably good up to 50F. If you get a fleece jacket for underneath, you should be good to go.

Yeah, it's definitely not a winter jacket, but it keeps my deceivingly warm because.. it's waterproof and doesn't really breathe with the vents closed.
 
Well if you live in a place where it actually gets cold... like Alaska... the only answer is Carhartt. And if it's really cold in Alaska, think -60 or so, then you get your Carhartt Arcticwear coat over a hoodie. That works great.

Carhartt gears are great, but I would take WINDRIVER T-Max ULTIMATE PARKA (7AVE8707) that rated for -70C before I even look at other options.

I have a Carhartt jacket very similar to the one you linked. It's ok, but I don't think it'd do me if it was VERY cold...but it's ok when temps drop into the 20's and low 30's. Definitely not waterproof though...

Lands End has some nice jackets/coats, many of which are water repellent or waterproof, and they offer them for a wide variety of temperature ranges.

$50. White and black for me. Works just fine. You absolutely do not need to spend more than $50 on a coat for any weather.
