This one is tough as I love my waxed canvas jackets, but I have to say in this order GORE-TEX Pro and GORE-TEX Performance are my most favorite materials for waterproof jackets. These 2 materials are hands down the best at keeping you dry and these fabrics are breathable. The price difference, maybe the features and styles of the jacket are the only reason to choose one over the other. GORE-TEX Pro is the best but it does come at a price (starting at $300 and upwards to $1000.) Make sure the jacket comes with YKK AquaGuard zippers to minimize water penetration from the pockets.
