When I test waterproof jackets - and I've tried 40 or 50 of them at this point in order to distil the market down into my guide to the best waterproof cycling jackets - they all get tested in parallel initially, and then I can hone in on them individually after that. Following testing and reviewing most tend to live in a box mentally labelled ‘for reference’ unless they perform very poorly.
Some are good enough to stay in constant use because they work so well as performance garments, like the Maap Atmos and the Rapha Pro Team Gore-Tex, and some stay in constant use because they transcend the cycling jacket part of the Venn diagram and bleed into general use. The POC Motion is very much in this second camp.
