FootJoy HydroTour vs Sunderland Whisperdry Pro-Lite: 20,000mm against a lifetime guarantee, and the Sunderland now costs about a quarter as much
The clocks went back this morning, and the two waterproofs on our winter list have drifted a long way apart. The FootJoy is a current three-layer shell rated to 20,000mm. The Sunderland is an end-of-line jacket being cleared far below its old price, and it still carries the longer guarantee.

Versus
Stuburt Evolve Extreme Pro vs Galvin Green Armstrong: both keep rain out, only one lets sweat out
Four times the money buys breathability, stretch and a shell that folds down to nothing. It does not buy you drier shoulders in a downpour, which is the part the price tag implies and does not deliver.
