Can a Β£20 rain jacket actually keep you dry?

The reviewer discusses testing an AliExpress rain jacket purchased for about 20 quid during a rainy ride. They mention that the jacket performed well, keeping their top half dry and warm, though they note some moisture on the back due to sweating, which they attribute to the jacket's lack of breathability. They compare it to high-end jackets from brands like Rapha, Castelli, and Lacole, stating that even expensive jackets can leave you feeling like 'a boil in the bag.' The reviewer concludes that for the price, the jacket offers good value and performance.
