Gore has also released something called ShakeDry, and a company called OutDry quickly followed suit (and sells their membrane to Columbia who market it in their OutDry line of jackets). Most traditional rain jackets will fall into one of these two categories be it GoreTex, eVent, or any number of proprietary jackets including Columbia's Omnitech.

3 and 2.5 layer are basically the same, each has an outer fabric layer protecting a membrane, then there is either an internal layer of polyester or something (3 layer), or an oleophobic coating (2.5 layer).
