It doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. I did find one a few
years ago which I thought was perfect. The Swazi Tahr from
newzeland but after 2 seasons it started leaking. I bought a
Ridgeline Monsoon and it is waterproof but doesn't breathe at
all, you really sweat. Ive gone back to shooting in my 10 year
old Barbour Berwick lightweight. Its fairly waterproof but when
it gets wet weighs a ton. So much for lightweight. So 10 years
on Im still searching for waterproof and breathable and Ive had
everything from £50 to £350 in bothh shooting and fishing coats.

Seeland Seetex is the job, fantastic quality and keeps out the
rain But expensive, Riverswest are brilliant too and with a 10
year waterproof warranty you can't go wrong, I've a Rangers
jacket and I wear it all the time and haven't got wet yet @ £180
they are well priced

that may depend on the model of jacket! as I said the Rangers
jacket has a 10 year waterproof warranty where as the Frontier
jacket doesn't as it's a lightweight casual camo

Id be wary of the 10 year warranty thing. My swazi smock was
over £300 and started leaking on the second season. They are
covered by a "lifetime warranty" I posted it back to New Zealand
at a cost of £30 to be told that I had abused it and it was
beyond repair. It most certainly never got abused and there
wasnt a mark on it.
