+1 for ventile. If Rivendell's offering isn't your thing, I highly recommend Hilltrek in Scotland. Brilliant stuff that works and is hearty and withstands deluges, wind, etc. Get their Cotton Analogy for the most waterproof/breathable option in existence (I've tried nearly all the concepts out there). I own and love this: http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/Liathach-Cotton-Analogy-Extreme-Smock-.html, but if you don't need the side zips and extra pockets, then this is less coinage: http://www.hilltrek.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Foinaven_Cotton_Analogy__Smock.html Ventile/Cotton Analogy breathes nearly as well as your cotton shirt (because it is untreated cotton) but water does not get through. The liner in the cotton analogy mimics fur, using capillary action to force any and all moisture away from your body, including sweat (not just vapor, but liquid). Brilliant stuff!
