Men's rain jacket that's actually waterproof
Depends on the use case, but grundens has a bunch of offerings you should take a look at. I’ve been using a Hauler jacket for the past 3 Bristol bay salmon seasons and it’s been holding up pretty decent, and we can go through rain gear pretty fast. Before that, the Brigg jackets were the gold standard and I’d get a few years out of them before a seam rips or wears through.

Men's rain jacket that's actually waterproof
The original Grundens are bomber. Talking about the rubber ones. Not the most comfortable but waterproof and durable. They now make all sorts of other products of varying breathability and some only water resistant.

Grundens are solid. The real issue with actual rain gear is there is no ventilation so it gets hot and sticky *(giggity)* for the price they are a solid option

Men's rain jacket that's actually waterproof
Grundens and Helly Hansen Work Wear are the only two answers. Look no further, but understand that their jackets are bombproof because they’re rubberized. They’re not going to breathe like Gore-Tex or another 2.5 or 3 layer membrane so you may end up wet from sweat or humidity/condensation. Layering properly with synthetics or wool can help with that. As for longevity, Gore-Tex and other membrane based jackets have a long life because you can restore the Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating when the jacket starts to wet out. Results can be mixed though. Rubberized rain coats may be subject to drying out over time or cracking at areas that see more movement than others (armpits, elbows, etc.). You may be able to use something like 303 spray to keep the rubber supple and extend the life of the jacket. 303 is used to keep latex seals on dry suits from drying out and cracking.

Men's rain jacket that's actually waterproof
You might look into commercial fishing gear like they wear on lobster/fishing boats. Not gonna be the most comfortable, but will keep you dry. I live in New England and see Grundéns around a bit, but can’t speak to the longevity personally.

Waterproof Bass Fishing Gear
If it says breathable it’s not waterproof. Grundens Neptune and Tourney series are fantastic as are Helly Hansen’s Impertech and Moss Grundens Herkules is designed for commercial fishing so it’s probably overkill for what he’s up too but it’s indestructible
