If you have one spare hour in Vancouver I have a suggestion for you. Go to Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) at 130 West Broadway, its not far from the downtown hotels. They have an excellent selection of their gore-tex jackets that rival any other makers at a fraction of the price. You will have to pay a one time $5.00 membership fee but they do have a good mail order program.

If you walk around Vancouver on a rainy day you'll see more people with something on from MEC than without. Every one in our family has at least one gore-tex jacket of theirs.
