"2 layer: Good protection, heavy, durable, good breathability, least clammy, affordable.
2.5 layer: Good protection, lightweight, less durable, best breathability, often clammy, often affordable.
3 Layer: Best protection, light weight, most durable, fair breathability, little clamminess, expensive.
It comes down to what you need. I personally have two types of jackets in my gear closet, 2.5 and 3 layer jackets. If there is a light chance of rain and I need decent protection with minimal weight, I'll take a 2.5 layer jacket. If there is a chance of heavy rain and I'll be working up a sweat, a 3 layer jacket is going in. Pants, however, I always settle for a 2.5 layer, just to cut weight. If you live in an area with little rain, a 2.5 layer makes perfect sense. If you live with constant monsoons, a 3 layer really is the way to go. I don't personally use 2 layer jackets, but if you're just hiking around town or commuting, they have a place."
Edit: And I mean waterproof and windproof still does not help, most fall and winter jackets are windproof and waterproof.. I guess they should put a temperature rating in descritption, or something..

The Men's Alta Vista Jacket, made with 100% recycled fabrics, will quickly become your go-to hike shell. With a water-repellent finish and technical features like an adjustable hood, pit-zip venting, and a secure-zip pocket, it'll take your trail exploration to the next level."

It's a rain jacket. I guess you would call it a hardshell.
2.5 layer in the description gives it away as a rain jacket
I live in a very rainy region, so I know my way around rain jacket lingo. But if I didn't, and I saw something said 2.5 layer, I would have no idea that mean waterproof.

It's a strategy to sell. Most people when they see a North Face jacket they would assume it's a winter jacket and at $50 they'll pull the trigger (when delivered they realize it's a rain jacket and look out for a reason to keep it due to returning inconveniences). If the manufacturer would specify it's a rain jacket the vast majority would pass.
