Raincoat recommendations

Strange question here. Can anybody suggest a rain jacket that will last twenty years? I'm also looking for something lightweight because it's usually hot here.

The waterproof lining on my current jacket is flaking off after 10 years. It's pretty gross. I'd like to avoid that on the next one.

Hi Andy,

It would help a little if we knew where you lived and how much time you expected to spend in the rain doing what.  There is rain and then there is RAIN.    My go to is a cheap $19 windbreaker with a zip in liner that I picked up at a truck stop in Sikeston, Missouri.  I expected it to last a year.   It is 10 years later and shows virtually no wear. We have 46" of rain a year. I use it around the homestead. But I do not work all day in the rain. I will try to find some identifying markers and update later.

Thanks for the reply. I won't be out in heavy rain much, so something light would be fine.

Peter storm makes some pretty darn good raincoats

Somewhere I've got a wax cotton jacket I lived in as a student. I was thinking the other day, I should dig it out and refurbish it. It might be a bit heavy weight for the OP since it is lined, with handy inner poacher's pockets. But may well be just what I need to replace the site jackets I use here. They are getting a bit worn and much less water resistant than they used to be. I wear three on rotation to let them dry out in between wears :).
