Just because the zippers are taped dose not mean they should be tricky. I have had many taped zipper/seam jackets over the last decade in many different brands like H/H, North Face, Mountian Co ect. All will keep you dry but comfort and user friendly is key. My choice for next season is a Columbia light rain jacket for summer months I picked up at BP for $89 really confortable. Neopren sleves are manditory for me early and late season but not for summer use. One other major factor is when you zip the jacket all the way up make sure no material is rough on your lip, chin or nose. If its any kind of bother after a few minets it will drive you nuts after hours in the wet and cold.
Hope this helps
