I've been using the Endura Venturi, made from eVent material. Really breathable, very light, very waterproof.
Also got some decent sized pockets and a headphone hole to an internally zipped pocket.
Cost me £130 quid from my lbs, so its not cheap, but I intend to keep it for long enough...Posted 1 year ago # -
Goretex army trousers, £10, can't complain at that!

British Army DPM jacket. It got me through EVERY weekend out last winter. In that I didn't think anything was an issue. Plus with two merino wool icebreakers and the DPM it handles sub-zeros spot on.
Sick of goretex cycling jackets. Weak as piss and made to a weight v max price to extract from punters.

Pace event jacket, wore it at the Merida last weekend mostly as a windproof, not saying I was bone dry underneath but I wouldn't have been if I'd worn my old gore tex.
Not cheap, £100, but works really well. Has survived washing too!

eVent is the most breathable of all the new breed of waterproof fabrics. Way more so than GoreTex. Needs a little more cleaning and care, but it'll reward you!

In the cold winter months breathability can take a back seat as long as it is waterproof and durable. My altura altitude jacket has done me proud for a few years now. It has seen several goretex jackets come and go as none have come close ti superseding it.
