wondering about the Dare2b jacket at Go outdoors thats down to 40 quid as ive never bought any dare2b stuff and theres no reviews of it online i can find. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/dare-2b-mens-excluse-ii-jacket-p436365
At that price why don't you just take a punt on it if you can't find anyone who's tried it? It's got a hydrostatic head of 15,000 so it's probably OK. I googled and found mixed reviews of Dare2b. Most people said their stuffs great but some said their waterproofs were as bad as mountain warehouse (and from personal experience mountain warehouse is bad). Lots of people think waterproofs leak when they sweat though as you probably know.
