Mountain Hardware ones are good! I've one myself. Good value for money and they do the job just as well as any fancy Arcteryx or North Face... My Jacket's a XL [I'm normally a Medium] so I can actually fit my down jacket beneath it, useful, but baggy when not wearing my downie, I wish I'd gotten a tighter fitting one, its like wearing a tent!

BTW, Keep clear of HyVent - really doesn't work, guys in a north face shop also confirmed it! clearly not selling their gear properly. If your after an active fitting one, the Mountain Equipment Changabang is a good one (just get it for it's name! lol)

The general consensus is that eVent is more breathable than Gore, so the RAB Latok or Momentums are also good; their 'Slipstream' Jacket is only 295g!

And Ditto Rosie's statement, they have a rare collection of 'cheap' Marmot gear at TK Max which is good if you can find one of the elusive jackets.
