My old new balance jacket officially fall apart after 5 years... Was hoping to purchase same model but it's not on sale anymore. Anyone got a good quality rain jacket that could recommend please?

Budget : 120£

    As long as it's gore-tex you'll get a decent jacket

    Completely agree. After buying a gore-tex jacket a few years ago, I wouldn't buy another that wasn't gore-tex

    I've had expensive rain jackets that leaked. But I've been wearing these bad boys, the Regatta Lyle- usually on sale for about £20, for years and they have never let in a drop.

    (Regatta is the same company as Craghoppers BTW)

    I would recommend TOG 24. I have 3 different styles, mesh lined for warmer weather, insulated for when it starts getting a bit cold and a heavily insulated for when it is really cold. All are 20k waterproof and breathable which is about as good as you get without being Goretex.

    They regularly have sales and if you lurk around their website you normally get offered 10% off you first order.

    Just check in the features section for the waterpoof rating, the higher the better.

    I do also have a North Face 3 in 1 that I’ve had for years that has never let me down, you would probably struggle to find one for your budget though.

    Alpkit Argonaut should do at £95.99 ? check the reviews on their site.
    Or go up their range if you want heavier duty for more money.
    Alpkit stuff is great value ... (edited)
