I'll vouch for the Simms Guide classic. I have one of the first ones and it has held up well. They improved on it early on by using a bigger zipper. I have the smaller zipper on my jacket and it is a pain to zip, especially if your hands are cold and wet. I would recommend, from what has been recommended so far from Simms, Patagonia, Columbia, and others, that you make sure you get a jacket that has a large zipper, and nice big zipper pull.
