Will post anywhere in Australia for $6.90, or pick up from NW coast.
We purchased this brand new quality jacket online from the USA and finally received it this week, only to find that sadly it was too big.
This is a two layer laminated genuine Gore-Tex fully waterproof breathable jacket.
Gore-Tex is probably the best waterproofing breathable material out there, and has certainly been around the longest. Cheaper waterproof jackets are nylon with a PU (polyurethane) coating and a DWR (durable water repellant) coating. These coatings wear off over time, but Gore-Tex uses a PTFE membrane laminated to the fabric if you like and therefore will never wear off.
Beware of Chinese knock-offs. This one is from the USA.
It's an ideal jacket for hiking, biking, walking, camping and staying dry outdoors. Being a shell, it allows you to layer to your required warmth underneath and use the shell to cut wind and stay dry.
Stuffs into an extremely small sack so ideal for carrying in a day pack or in the car and only weighs 430g
To buy an equivalent Gore-Tex Paclite jacket in an Australian shop, say Kathmandu, it will cost $299 (which is a bit ridiculous, hence our attempt to purchase from overseas).

This is the lightest, most packable GORE-TEX rainwear available. The GORE-TEX PacLite Shell fabric and Gore-Seam® taped seams block water while allowing your body to breath to you keep you dry underneath. The Parka has adjustable cuffs and a drawcord-adjustable hem to seal out windblown rain. An adjustable three-piece hood moves with you for maximum peripheral vision. Parka packs into a separate stuff sack.
