Helly Hansen Workwear Men's Mandal Waterproof Jacket

100% would recommend as its 100% waterproof. I think breathability in coats is mostly a marketing game, I find they always permeate water in the end in driving rain and with cycling. The coat is loose enough to allow for some airflow, especially with wind. Best have long sleeves as it doesn't feel amazing on bare skin.

Used for fishing in heavy rain so far brilliant

Great over jacket for working in the rain. No heat retention so does need a layer or two underneath, but genuinely keeps out wind and water. Fits well but sleeves are short compared other jackets

Brilliant, got this to use on my motorcycles and it never lets in any water

Good jacket but poppers never stay closed..

I work with an outdoor volunteer conservation group, in all weathers, and this jacket is just what I was looking for. Perfectly keeps me dry. I am a woman size 10 and agonised over what size to buy. I finally went with the M, and it is just right, roomy enough to work in but doesn’t swamp me. I think a S would have been too small.

Best totally waterproof jacket I have ever worn

I'm not quite sure why I bought this item. It's ideal for trawlermen and Mancunian hobos (before you complain, I am from Manchester). I mean, it does what it says on the tin and keeps the rain at bay, but I think that I over-engineered the solution. Frankly, it makes you sweat like a pig and lacks any semblance of sartorial style. I don't know. Oh, and it's not that cheap. Seriously, if you are a country dog walker in the North West then this could be the answer. I got the bright yellow version (wish I'd got green) which means, as a bonus, you are extremely visible on the King's highway.
