What are good waterproof jackets? (budget ~100-200€) (feddit.de)

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!

Price as come down on futurelite and I'm a fan of how breathable and light weight it is compared to goretex. These features might not be that important for walking in the rain, but where it really shines is packability / weight for travel or hiking.

Will definitely check it out, thank you!
