I really rate the ridgemonkey thermapro shell waterproofs. The material is incredibly comfortable and soft. Used in extreme downpours and kept completely dry.

Take a trip to GoOutdoors as they usually have some bargains on good quality Goretex jackets from Rab etc.

They'll last way longer than anything available in the fishing industry.

Just have a go at reapplying the DWR first.

Else another year on you’ll have two jackets which are no longer waterproof…

Depends what too expensive is. You could try ex military, I use German Flecktarn as Gerry on here recommended it.
I also use Deerhunter which I can highly recommend.

If you're prepared to buy none fishing have a nosey at New Forrest Clothing, link below.
They have some lovely stuff and their budget range reviews speak for themselves. Quite a few reviews are from people who work in all weathers outdoors.

Buy an Arktis military grade waterproof jacket, you will never need another one again.

I like the Drykore and have had the mk1 since release . . .like all waterproofs they need regular washing / reproofing to keep the DWR in place / water beading up etc

I bought a Fox Aqos tri layer 3/4 length jacket with 15k HH and it’s terrible in the rain. Decent wind proof but utterly rubbish in the rain.

I need a new jacket that is truly waterproof but isn’t too expensive. Any recommendations for the Korda DryKore stuff or is it as rubbish as the above?
