Yep I have the Rab Drillium which is an eVent shell. I was disappointed until I discovered that washing and treating it regularly with the Nikwax wash and re-waterproofing stuff regularly means it stays waterproof and breathable. I would not recommend ironing it as it says to do on the label!
The eVent shell is expensive but the breathability is pretty good and it's thin enough to actually wear when you are cycling in the rain (unlike most riding jackets which are really warm).
