Made of Goretex (or preferably eVent) but not looking like I've just come in from base camp.

Suggestions?

Schoffel and Musto do some great stuff, but might look a little yachty/country if you're not that way inclined.

Mountain Hardware - similar, not too outdoorsy (to my mind).

It can look like a waterproof, just not a full on mountain climber one.

Oh, and there was me thinking you were embracing high fashion, but with a practical slant. There are loads of options out there if that's all you want. I am disappointed... 😐

Is that TNF one an example of a 'Full on mountain climber' or a 'nice casual'? Very much depends on your perception.

Well I thought it looked casual, but you can't tell without trying it on. This one looks mountainy:

I don't want it cut for a climbing harness, a huge hood for going over a helmet, map pockets, extra drawcords, high viz colours etc.

Waterproof jacket, casual looking, doesn't make you appear to be making a dash for base camp?
There is really only one, and it'll last you the rest of your life, looked after:

The one and only Belstaff Trialmaster. Pretty much thorn-proof, very easily re-proofed, gets better and better as it gets older.
And it doesn't have to be black, but black is betterer.
I love mine to bits, and it's getting ever more comfortable to wear.

Just got myself a Merrel Moab jacket - DWR in a sale. Really nice fit if you're skinny. Still a bit warm here but pre-empting the wind/rain of our mild winter.
