I’m looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket with a hood, ideally available in the UK. I don’t buy jackets very often so I don’t know what I should be looking for asides from that broad category. Suggestions welcome!

Have you had experience with Nikwax and a Rains jacket? I own one, I love it to bits, but I have also abused it to the point where I can’t wear it in public anymore because of the worn out and ripped bits.
If the membrane itself is ripped up, there’s not much you can do. That basically means it’s toast. I guess you could wash and recoat with nikwax, but without the membrane, it basically becomes a water resistant windbreaker. You also wouldn’t want to use it in situations where you’d be working up a sweat because all that sweat wouldn’t have anywhere to go.
