Waterproof textile jacket or just the liner?

Aeristich Darien. Superb in all conditions and top protection. If it's good enough for Ted Simons, it's good enough etc etc!:rob
 
Would someone like to tell me if its possible to buy a textile jacket that is waterproof on the outside. Why Im asking is that all the textile jackets that Ive seen are only waterproof from the liner in. This leaves the outer section mopping up water at will.
During a recent camping trip where it rained cats and dogs, our return to the tent in the rain left us with absolutely soaking wet and forever dripping coats. With really nowhere else to put them due to limited room inside they were eventually left outside. If they had of been waterproof from the outside in, it may have been possible to shake the excess off and bring them inside.
Mine is a HG cruise and my friends is the new Revit Cayenne Pro. Not bad gear or so Im lead to believe but they both have the major drawback of not being totally waterproof (although water tight).
Try BMW Streetguard 3 or Comfort Shell. Otherwise Hein Gericke Master V. All designed to repel water on the outside and remain light and not sponged heavy with water! See BMW or HG websites for latest clothing technology development.
