In my experience the Sandstone shell still has provided a small bit of water protection (but again, officially, it is not certified water-repellent). Just like Carhartt has a wide range of linings, they also offer a wide range of outer shell fabrics so that you can find one that is tough enough to handle what you are going to throw at it, but also has the comfort and flexibility you are looking for.
