Loro Piana Cashmere Storm System - never saw this in person so thought I would share; the inside of the fabric is quite rubbery and would seem to wear quite warm to me.

The fabric is designed to be worn in "poor" conditions, such as rain or snow. I own two LP storm system pieces and I can say that they are indeed for cooler temperatures (but then again, if it's not cold, why are you wearing a wool coat?). I have one coat in a thicker wool and one in a "sport/ligher" wool (Zerander or something like that). I do not find the extra membrane to add a great amount of warmth, it seems more dependent one the wool/outer fabric itself.

I bought two overcoats—4 years in between purchases—from BB in LP cashmere: one with the Storm System treatment and one without. I don't find the Storm System to be much different from the non-treated cashmere in terms of water or wind resistance. (On sale, though, the two coats cost me the same thing—so much for this anecdote.)
