I bought two synthetic coats from Alpkit, one medium, one large. I like layers so I wear one and if I'm colder I wear two and if I'm hotter I take one off etc, plus I wear my £14.99 thin wind jacket from Decathlon on top, in the middle or underneath, depends on the conditions. Plus of course if raining I take my Marmot Precip or my poncho with me. I take one or the other, I'm not committed exclusively to either.
