From what I have heard Stoic is super good for the price. Not necessarily tall fit, but I'd recommend this model.

generally speaking, you get what you pay for. especially with outerwear. for a bit more than 200 you can get a saga jacket which are all very high quality.

Look through gear trade. Usually really nice jackets pop up for under 200. I picked up an armada tracer for 180 brand new a couple months ago.

this. if it's at all possible, avoid buying straight from the company.

Look for used Trew. I hit a patch of slush before a pond skim last year, didn't make it, got out, shook off my trew pants, and they were dry, Everything else was soaked... but pants were dry. Also, Unlike most outerwear I've had, Nikwax tech wash actually seems to work and revamp the waterproofing.

Hahahaha nothing short of technical rain gear is going to shed the rain we had at Snocompton Sunday. Seriously though, my Saga jacket actually kept me pretty dry. The water just soaked up through all the openings. From under the bottom, my sleeves, my neck, etc. Deals can be found in b/s/t...

Theres still some of ldc tonic jackets left from last year and I'm pretty sure they're 20k/20k. The sizes and colors are limited but they're 200 http://www.lethaldescent.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1579328

Eira has a good line this season with a ton of high-quality features at pretty reasonable prices (compared to other brands for same quality).  Check out the Ginza or Progression Jackets.
