    Marmot precip is worth a look too, very similar to the Patagonia.

    Speaking as someone who lived in the era before goretex, if it's just a light shell to stow away, warehouse $20 should do fine. You pay top dollar for the breathability, not for the waterproofing which comes cheap as long as the seams are good (sticky point).

    Problem with goretex and other "breathable fabrics" (the idea that sweat vapours can exit so you don't wet clothes from your sweat) is that water vapours actually travel IN as well as out! If it's really peeing down, like if you have to stand in a cow stable using a water hose for three hours, you really don't want to be blessed with nice GoreTex or other "breathable" waterproofs, as you will have NO sweat vapour exiting the jacket, what with the moisture gradient running the other way. Cheap vinyl oilskins and gumboots do just nicely then.

    Cheers for all the replies fellas .
    My old lightweight coat was a gift from a German guy I worked with years ago .
    The labels were all unreadable, but it dawned on me that it was probably military surplus even though it was a solid grey colour not camo .
    After reading through all the suggestions here I have ordered a military surplus ( new never issued ) German Gore tex coat .
    You cant buy a new gore tex coat cheaper anywhere and being German military I suspect it will be well made and designed .
    Ill report back when I get it , but that will be a week or two because of Christmas .
    Thanks ,

    Well @Ground Control I am glad I read the whole thread because when I read your first post, I was going to write “buy an unissued German Bundeswehr rain jacket from Army and Outdoors, or British or Austrian Army”.

    I have several German and British Army Goretex and Sympatex jackets in various sizes for the whanau. They are excellent performers. Cannot fault them. I wear them over various Bundeswehr shirts or jackets depending on season. Have never gotten wet, even on long torrential quad rides back from the hunt.

    Excellent choice and a fraction of the price of the posh brands, which frequently are not as effective.
