Waterproof Hardshell

Right, so I've bought the last coat from any sporting goods store in the mall, I'm tired of them promising waterproofness, and the first time I use it in wet weather I get soaked.

So basically I'm looking at:

TAD Gear Predator Hardshell

Arc'teryx Alpha Jacket

OTTE Patrol Parka

I'm looking for a jacket, that packs down small, waterproof, and comfortable. It's not going to be in any camo pattern, as this is for civie use.

I've read Military Moron's reviews of all three, but he never compares them, so you never get a feel for how well they stack up against each other.

If anyone has any experience with any of the three I'd be grateful.
