Goretex or even waterproof fabric is not necessary in many alpine situations where this jacket could be used. A lot of down filled insulating garments do not have any waterproof fabric as it is and instead people prefer to just throw a shell over them if there is any precip.

Would be interesting to see comparison of actual benefits compared to current high tech fabrics used, all high-fill lightweight down stuff has some nanotech fabric to keep it light & durable.
