[Closed] Better than an Altura Nightvision Evo?

My Altura Hi-viz jacket has once again started to fail. It isn't very waterproof and reproofing it just results in a horrible smell (the Nikwax?) and lots of reflective dandruff where the reflective stuff is falling apart.

I need a new waterproof jacket that is reflective and ideally brightly colour. Breathable. And (this is where I get stuck) has either a hood or an optional extra hood. I cannot find anything like this apart from Altura stuff.

Any suggestions?

No one? The only thing I've found so far is a Gore jacket. It has an optional hood but next to no reflective stuff.
IMO reflective bits are far more effective than bike lights for helping cars spot you.
