Might be getting too old (your Flektarn not you :-)
I had another ex Military (US NATO) jacket and still have it and was 100% waterproof - but not now at 12-15 years old
ALL the Gore-Tex fabrics start letting in water once old or become over soiled etc
But I more talking about this 4-600$ stuff that does not breath - for me - perhaps I just a heavy vapour letter outer - but cannot see the point in spending all that dosh on a coat
Better to go towards a rifle or optic - ALL jackets end up in the bin "oneday"
