packlite ... amazed at how well (compared to other stuff) it breathes for something that's totally waterproof
I know the whole forum has moved onto Gabba-ish textiles. But need something for commuting/errands, so will have to sacrifice stretch/breathability/racefit/wow.
I need to make sure that I will arrive bone dry and without wet patches on my office-clothes.Can see that Gore have some sensible options in Paclite. Such as:

I looked at these but ended up going with a Marmot Precip, as it was much less than half the price and it can be used for hiking and stuff as well. It's absolutely amazing on and off the bike and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

For commute and errands I've been very impressed with my Paramo Cyclo. No race fit or cut about it, but it handles wet stuff with ease, is a nice fabric to wear, and when the proofing fades, it comes back really well when washed in nikwax stuff. It's more than just a shell though, so maybe not so good for when the weather warms up.

Have an older packlite jacket that is my go-to on the bike waterproof. As someone who sweats a lot I'm still amazed at how well (compared to other stuff) it breathes for something that's totally waterproof
