Been impressed with the Guardian series jacket Drake offers now. Granted I haven't sat in a monsoon in it, but I put it on the other week up North when rain set in hunting and I stayed dry.

Not Drake. They don't make anything waterproof.

I have an older Herter's 3-n-1 wading jacket that still keeps me dry, as long as my feet don't get tangled. It has a double flap that buttons closed over the zipper. I think the zipper is where most rain coats have their issues. The people at Cabelas should be kicked in the nuts, and throat punched for doing what they did to Herter's.
With that said, look for something that has a covered zipper. That is the weakest link with all of them.
You didn't say if it was for hunting or not but Visor Guy is money with the 100 mph gear he mentioned. Also None of y'all ever mention it but Gill Gear, offshore blow boaters wear it. You will only get wet in it if you jump in the damn water. FACT. started wearing it years ago when I fished offshore a lot on center consoles. It's pricey too but works.

If we are talking about fishing gear then buy the HUK gear. I have fished the worst of the worst and stayed bone dry

Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

I see most of you are smart enough to get out of the rain, because 90% of what yall are touting is about as waterproof as a wet paper sack. Well greased Tin cloth is the only answer here if a solid day of hunting outside in a downpour is the order of the day. Still laughing at the cat who said Goretex....
Do any of yall actually hunt in your Filson jackets? I have one but its more of my nicer jacket. Wouldnt think to use it in hunting situations
Yeahhhh....Ive got one of those tin cloth coats. Ain't worth a shot if you don't keep waxing it. Who the hell wants to wax a coat every flipping time you plan on going out in the rain....not to mention tin cloth is hotter than 2 cats fucking in a wool sock!!!! You'll be we wetter from sweating than if you wore a drake jacket!
I've hunted over twenty something years in a Barbour solway. It was made to hunt.
If a grease coat is one of your nicer articles of clothing, you might want to step up your game...
Why would you need to rewax more than once every couple years? Answer: you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Imagine that on this site.
You just keep that thing in your fashion closet. They ain't worth a shit for anything but going through briers. I only wear mine on cold days rabbit hunting.
Really? Does anyone hunt in a Filson? Why the hell would you buy it to be a "nice jacket"? That's the problem with the hunting world these days. Shit is made to be hunted in a people are buying it to wear as a status symbol or to look cool. My wife won't let me wear my filson field coat in the house because of how dirty it is, but as long as it's not hot out that is the only way to go if you want to stay dry. Don't buy shit to look cool, use it for its purpose.
JAB be in the duck blind in November like, "I know im looking fly but its hotter than a mother fucker out here!"
Grunden rubber rain suits will keep you dry! Do none of you fools watch Deadliest Catch? There is not hardly a wetter environment than these cats work 24 - 36 hrs at a time in and you see what they wear!
