Hey, so I hope you're still reading this.

All the rain jackets mentioned here have a big problem: they use durable water repellant spray on the outside, and this spray has to be constantly reapplied, and each time the jacket's performance reduces.

You should strongly consider Columbia Outdry instead. Anything that says "Outdry" on it uses a different technology. Instead of sandwiching the waterproof membrane between an inner and outer layer, they put the waterproof layer directly on the outside. This means no durable water repellant is ever required. It will be permanently waterproof, forever, yet breathable unlike those old fisherman coats. This technology seems to be the industry's best-kept secret. You can find Columbia Outdry jackets on their website, or Amazon or eBay or Poshmark for older models.

However, the jacket I suspect you may like the most is no longer in production, but easily buyable through 3rd parties; my girlfriend has the Columbia Outdry Mackintosh, which is a stylish trench-coat-style raincoat. Here's a Google search for it where you can browse a variety of sites to find your size and colour:

If you don't like how this looks, just keep browsing for Outdry Jackets on Columbia/eBay/Amazon/Poshmark until you see something you like, I've bought several of my Outdry jackets that way!
