Waterproof coat recommendation
Folks
I'm after a new waterproof coat to wear for walking and general everyday wear. I'm looking for something very breathable as I'm a sweaty soul and can get as wet from the inside as from the rain. For this reason I want it to offer as little insulation / warmth as possible. I can add warmth with layers of other stuff. Basically I'm after an old fashioned cagoul (sp?) (but zip up not over the head) with modern 'technical' performance.
Your thoughts / experiences / recommendations would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

I use a Rohan hilltop jacket. 4 or 5 years old, admitted defeat and got me wet once in that time, during a tropical downpour in the Caribbean. Excellent for dog walking.
Any waterproof will demand you wear long sleeves underneath though.

I recently bought one of these, very light yet seems to tick all of your boxes. They’re not cheap but you can pick one up for around £120-£140, RRP is about £240.
