Waterproof jacket recommendations

[ggorgeman]

Hi All, apologies if this is a recurring question, I've been off-site for quite a while.

Looking for recommendations for a good quality shell that can cope with a good few hrs in soaking rain. I prefer to layer underneath, so no additional padding/insulation required. Only mid-length (mid-bum) required, not long thigh length. Budget isn't top-end but wanting to avoid the low end stuff that just wont cut it.

Thanks in anticipation

Columbia outdry extreme based jacket.

Won't/can't wet out.

As with all water proof 'breathable' jackets you will sweat in this when going up hills or moving quickly. So layer management is key to avoid becoming damp/wet from the inside
