$899 is a lot of coin though and for only GoreTex? I thought that had been succeeded buy other membranes?

I have Hunters Element XTR and Rate it, has performed well for me in some real shit weather. I have full length zip but can get a pull over type as well.
Have not used for a heap of scrub bashing, held up very well so far to the abuse I have put it through though.
Cheers

I have the h&f shearwater which has certainly kept me dry. Coped ok with the rough stuff, tho I was surprised how heavy it became in the rain. But, it worked, and I was happy. They're cheaper now and I think their new fabric might be lighter in weight.

Check out the Arc'Teryx Theta AR or SVX. Expensive (especially the SVX) but looks like a really solid option. I am going to get an AR once I scrap together the funds and hopefully find one on sale somewhere...
If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
