Like this one from Lightheart Gear. https://www.lightheartgear.com/collecti ... ain-jacket
I just can’t justify spending so much money on a Gore-Tex jacket if it’s going to wet out eventually. And it seems like even the best reviewed Gore-Tex jackets have wet through on someone.
Perhaps there might even be some cheaper options made of the same material but not marketed as an ultralight hiking jacket?

The Columbia Outdry looks good but is even more than ordering from Lightheart Gear.

Interested to check out Lamont's front vent suggestion.
Otherwise what about a poncho. Cheap and light but a fail when Bush bashing
