But you should usually wear a windproof layer, and a waterproof layer serves as such, even if it's overkill.

If you are out in cold, dry and windy conditions, then you can wear a jacket made from a highly breathable but windproof material. The one I have is made from Gore Windstopper.

I prefer to layer a very thin windshirt under my insulating layer.
