i agree,just done 38/39 with proclimber and the owner andrew lewis[the owner] was our assessor,he was wearing the proclimber smock,which is fully water proof,tight fitting and breathable,with no pockets to snag[if you climb] he did state not the cheapest but a very good water proof coat take a look at the proclimber website:thumbup1:
