For your purpose I do not think the coat you suggested is right. Look for a thigh length parka, with down or down alternative fill, and GORE-TEX.

Just popping in to add that I’ve tried so many of the “JuSt As GoOd As GoREtEx” brands and can confirm that no, they are not just as good as Gore-Tex.
Granted I live in the PNW and used to ride a motorcycle year-round so my stuff got a bit more wet (and stayed wet longer) than most other people’s, but it really opened my eyes up to how good the Gore-Tex stuff is. Nothing comes close.

Patagonia's H2NO is pretty close, but outside of that gore-tex doesn't have an equal imo.

LL Bean Nor’Easter commuter coat- don’t make ‘em anymore but you can find on eBay. It’s waterproof Gore-Tex & Thinsulate; I’ve been in -20 weather with wind & not noticed.
