I'm not sure what you mean, but pretty much all breathable membrane systems in clothing work this way, depending on DWR to maintain breathability. The one radical entrant in the market is gore shakedry, which is pretty simple- the face fabric is omitted, and therefore the need for DWR. The exterior of the jacket is literally the gore membrane. The moisture performance is reportedly superior. The consequence is extremely poor durability against abrasion, to the point you cannot wear a pack over it.
