I have the Arc'teryx Alpha. It's an outstanding jacket but you might have trouble acquiring one if you're not Mil/LE. Rangermade and Quantico Arms down in the States do sell it on their websites so you might want to give that a try. Note that the cut is short so it's indeed more like a jacket than a parka.

The TAD Gear Predator, is another excellent choice. The waterpoof/breathable membrane they use apparently has a bit of "stretchiness" to it. How they accomplished this I don't know. I've got their V3.0 Stealth jacket and it's the cat's ass.

I've finger fucked the OTTE parka. Dave's Surplus in Vancouver had the Earth-colored parkas. It's not on their website so you'll have to give them a call. Very similar in cut and construction to Arc'teryx but slightly longer.

These guys are pretty much in the same league and price-point so you can't go wrong with any of the 3 choices. If I were you I'd go with the TAD, Arc'teryx LEAF, then OTTE.
