Experimented with hypalon back when I used to make bags, pricey though and has some of the same drawbacks (heavy)

Ripstop is showerproof at best, and once the outer fabric becomes saturated and sitting on/touching it, water will get through pretty quickly.
I would try a lightweight laminate of some kind.

Some of the lighter Corduras? Or no-brand nylon like this? https://www.extremtextil.de/en/nylon-210den-pu-coated-130g-sqm.html You'd have to find a UK supplier, but PU coated and 100-150 g/sqm should be fine? This has a 5000mm water column, the ExtremTextil customer service recommended it to me as a drawcord collar and it's been perfect for that.

Hey all. Sewed heavyweight PVC for the first time (for lining a basket tote) yesterday and absolutely hated working with it. What else are people using for (effectively) waterproof lining that isn’t so heavy or stubborn to manipulate into shape? Thinking a good quality ripstop maybe? Thanks.
