Good evening folks! I am looking for a decent waterpoof jacket but getting kinda stumped at the options.

While I would mainly use it for just taking walks, I do want something a little better that I could possibly use on hikes and such as well (might as well get a better one right away in case I ever decide to do something like that).

Now, I've found Jack Wolfskin have some nice looking ones (in particular the Elsberg 2,5l), but opinions on the brand seem to differ a lot.

So I wanted to ask if anyone can recommend a good brand I can get in Europe that fits my budget and delivers decent quality. Thanks everyone in advance!

Look at the material Goretex brand is switching to, now that lawsuits are being brought against them. They knew their process was incredibly toxic and are now catching up to their competitors.

They've done a great job getting people to trust the Goretex tag.

Yeah I get triggered every time someone recommends goretex, no experienced outdoors people use it
