I bought these years ago, both jacket and trousers (I gave both away) They were not waterproof to a high degree but more shower proof, the main problem was that although they are advertised as breathable they certainly were not, I would come home from birdwatching absolutely drenched from sweat, the trousers were the worst, they were sodden. I contacted Jack Pyke and they told me my metabolism was wrong, well! I have heard some BS excuses in my time but that takes the cake. Apart from that they were very comfortable (at first) very quiet and loads of pockets which is what I like.
