Lightweight Waterproof Jacket Recomendations?
I’m looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket with a hood, ideally available in the UK. I don’t buy jackets very often so I don’t know what I should be looking for asides from that broad category. Suggestions welcome!

Know that the waterproofing treatment on a light weight jacket is not going to last forever. That said, I can suggest certain brands and recommend you avoid others.
Recommend:
- Arc'teryx (probably typo)
- Mammut
- Patagonia
- Helly Hansen
- Spyder
Avoid:
- Columbia
- Eddie Bauer
Honorable mentions:
- Volcom
- 686
- Dakine
I have a Patagonia rainshell which I found dirt cheap on sale many yeara ago and it is absolutely fantastic. Packs small into its own little puch and the water repellant hasn't failed me yet
