My leather jacket never gets out of the closet anymore.
Whether I want to avoid riding in the rain or not, it still happens and my leather jacket is worthless for weather protection.
I prefer to wear a goretex jacket that can be vented. If it's cold, put something on underneath it; if it's hot and dry, wet down your shirt a bit and close up the jacket to control evaporation; if it's raining, just ride on.
I've had very good success in the US with Aerostich and First Gear.
