I use my altar ego all the time, but my kathmandu windproof jacket goes with it as a layer underneath
For a really extended trip , I think I'd prefer a 3/4 jacket more like the length of my old belstaff - my layers kept sticking out the bottom of the altar ego.
They didn't get very wet as my tank bag took teh bruynt, and if you used a big rain coat over teh jacket, you wouldn't have an issue, but i'd prefer that layer to be covered i think
3/4 will prevent less chance of something coming untcked and goving an updraught - no fun. kidney belt would help if yo could be bothered.
BUT i highly reccomend the Altar ego for tripping around Australia, but alaska i would like something more for cold
