need a new waterproof. i have been using a columbia outdry for the last 5 or so years.
it is now a bit sad looking, and to be honest it feels very uncomfy to wear.
my mrs calls it my rubber johnny coat, and it kind of feels like it now.
so something not too bike specific. not too heavy. dont need a hood. and available in true mansizing.
any idea's anyone ?
i cant seem to find anything.
what waterproof ??

I think it's called goretex C fabric. It's your friend Tony. I have this in that material and been amazing...

I dont think anything's as good as Outdry. I'd just get another.

I'd suggest you don't get a gore shakedry. Whilst brilliant and totally waterproof they might not be available in your sizing and are also quite fragile.
Another outdry looks like your best option

Can you still get the outdry reign? Only seems like the extreme is available as it's a bit pricey.

The heady days of multiple (indistinguishable?) versions of Outdry jackets being pedaled by umpteen vendors for really low prices seem to be behind us.
Bit more careful searching needed nowadays but I believe there's old stock and the odd bargain to be had. Someone linked to some lovely white ones recently

Seconded, for light weight I prefer the Gore Shakedry, but Outdry wins for heavy rain and dog walking in the rainCheeky Monkey wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 12:23 am I dont think anything's as good as Outdry. I'd just get another.

Re: what waterproof ??
I horded a new Outdry Reign during a Columbia sale a while ago and just broke it out for the first time last week during an ultra soggy ride. I'm glad I bought it back when they were readily available and relatively cheap if they're becoming hard to find. I had been thinking about splashing out on an Endura MT500 jacket for trail riding and saving my Outdrys for bikepacking and this discussion kinda reinforces that idea.
