Had a musto jacket a long time ago that was very good ,left it on a ferry and never got it back. When I spoke to the retailer in the link he recommended the ridge line over the musto which they also sell and it's les than half the price .

Not used the sailing jackets, but have one of their shooting jackets, Musto Storm, now disscontinued.
Ridgeline seem to have a good reputation, but the HH is only 10,000mm compared to 28,000mm for the Musto, this may well be sufficient, though some would say not.

Go Outdoors are doing a Berghaus Goretex jacket for £99. Anyone know if it's any good? Thinks it's called the Maitland.

It's probably a single layer goretex packable type shell and will wet out.

I can say all the various Berghaus water proofs jackets and trousers that I have bought and still use have been fantastic performing and would put them against anything for keeping you perfectly Dry mine are the Berghaus Deluge
I also do use a much heavier duty ex Army Flecktarn Goretex these are brilliant too

Not sponsored or anything, but have a look here.
I think the Culloden is the latest version.
I have the older Strathmoor which I love. Never had any problems with Hoggs of Fife clothing

Worth a punt at that price, spoke to halcon hunt designer today and he said there are thirty different types of goretex materials with different properties,some more breathable ,some more flexible, some more robust, so choosing the right material for the intended purpose is an important factor in the design stage. Laminated garments are better but more expensive to manufacture than a drop liner garment. All require the correct care to look after them and keep them performing the way they should. Can't make up my mind between the ridge line or a rab latoc extreme.

If you want fully waterproof then probably won't find anything more waterproof (or cheaper!!) than this
Fortex Jacket
However don't try walking anywhere in it as breathable it's not!!

I've taken a punt, £99 isn't a lot of money if it's half decent. I have the Vass lined smock if if it's peeing down but you don't half sweat in it.

I use Simms jackets and bibs. You'll never get wet, ever. They are designed for fishing, not sitting in a bivvy and popping out now and gain to check your bobbins. I've done many days pike fishing in the boat on big waters over in Ireland and Sweden, where it has pissed it down all day long and remained dry/warm. Most UK game fishing stores stock Simms, the quality is awesome, sizing is excellent and OK, not the cheapest, but the best never is.

Think my cousin in Scotland has a Simms wading jacket and goretex stocking foot waders. Looks like very good kit , especially the pro laminated stuff but as you say not cheap.

I have had that ridgeline coat and seen glowing reviews for it but after 6 months it starts the wetting out, Yes you do remain dry but the outer is so wet it takes ages to dry out and so feels cold.
Would never buy ridgeline again.

Fortis clothing down in the SW. NOT the Fortis that sells glasses.
This Fortis sells hand made in the UK outdoor clothing. Absolutely awesome clothing. Whilst some of it is expensive, it lasts forever, made with high end materials and made by hand in there SW factory. Always worth checking out there 'sales' as well as you can make a significant saving as they change designs and sell older stock.
