And, yes, I agree with the first comment here about "that one review", LOL.

I've spent a whole bunch of $ for the fancy rain coats only to realize.. the "advanced technology" means jack. None of them are as waterproof as the good ol rubbery stuff, i.e. PU coated Nylon, straight PVC/rubber
The downside of them is that they are not breathable and you'll sweat, but you can find raincoats that have under arm/armpit vents that help a bit. For hiking, all this fancy gore tex stuff will still get drenched and water will get through to your body after about 20-30 minutes. I can be outside for hours without a single drop getting in with the PU nylon/rubber. And the best part is those are like 15 bucks.
Not being a naysayer, but it's apples and oranges.

Gore-tex only recently switched away from PFAS. even the new ePE they market still has trace amounts of pfas.
hell the original gore-tex is just teflon for clothes.
