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!

    REI sold a cheap shell, that’s waterproof. It’s very thin and compact when folded, but with no insulation at all. You’d wear something nicer underneath, like a cozy sweater, with the waterproof jacket on top. Being waterproof, it doesn’t breathe well.

    I bought one to take on hikes when it was raining, then I could take it off and stuff it in my backpack once it stopped raining.
