as far as I know shakedry is the only fabric which actually works in terms of waterproofing (not used it personally but going from all the testimonials of people who have.) all of the other rain jackets (including ones I have used) are varying degrees of OK-to-terrible. doesn't matter if it has DWR, taped seams etc it's going to soak through unless it's shakedry. not sure if there are other jackets out there (non-gore) which use shakedry and have a less aggressive fit
if I'm riding in the wet, I just use a gabba. I get wet but I stay warm at least, and the thing breathes so you don't stink (which is an issue I had with the rapha classic rain jacket.) sorry, know that probably doesn't help you
