Hi, I am in the market for a new rain jacket.  I have an old, fancy Arcteryx Alpha whatever that is just not up to the job.  I am not that impressed by the magic of fancy membranes, so I was looking for something that is actually waterproof (the fancy membranes are also sweaty like crazy unless it is cold and I am doing little, so I spend all my time managing condensation anyway).

I have two options I can see:

  1. Lightheart Rain Jacket (https://goo.gl/3dmsK6)
  2. Warbonnet Stash Jacket (https://goo.gl/hZohrx)

Do people have any experience with either?  Also, I’d rather get something similar *made in Europe* for the simple reason it would take less time to arrive, shipping would be cheaper and there would not be extra custom charges, but if that is not possible I think it is a choice between the two above.

When it is actually warm I prefer a poncho with a belt in case you are wondering.

Equinox Gazelle Ultralite Anorak.

That’s quite interesting, but it mentions a mesh panel back?  wouldn’t that defeat the exercise?
