waterproof jackets

I was going to add some information about waterproof jackets here.....

I currently have two ill-suited jackets. One is a cheap Lonsdale windbreaker which is ok, it's a bit big and flappy, it's a windbreaker so anything more than a brief shower just goes straight through it.
My other jacket is one of those cheap bright yellow construction style jackets which I've ripped out the quilted liner. It's a bit bulky, is waterproof but is in no way breathable so anything above 2 degrees and I'm sweating so much I may as well not be wearing a waterproof at all.

I've been looking at commuter style jackets from Bontrager and Altura, and I've been looking at lightweight stuff sack ones from Madison & Montana. I was due to get one this month but I've unfortunately blown my waterproof budget on a new tattoo, doh! Oh well, chances are it'll outlast the jacket anyway. Perhaps next month ;-)
