Very lightweight waterproof jacket

Pete Beer

I'm after a very lightweight waterproof and breathable jacket, no lining, no pockets for long distance touring and stuffing in a very small space when it isn't raining (steady)
Any suggestions?

How about:
Altura Strada Waterproof Race Cape

Close fitting, this ultra lightweight waterproof is made from a stretch high performance fabric with fully taped seams and a soft inner lining. Being semi-clear, it is ideal for racing in poor conditions as jersey colours will still be visible through it. Its low bulk means it can easily be stowed in a jersey pocket as and when the sun comes out.

Waterproof, breathable and windproof fabric, Fully taped seams, Full length front zip with storm flap. Reflective trim. Lycra cuffs and hem.

I use http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=11427 which doesn't keep me dry, but is good in the current weather as it is windproof and keeps off the worst of the weather and I don't get chilled.

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=8951 is recommended as a good breatheable jacket, though perhaps more suitable for chillier weather. Good reviews anyway.

As a back up to my more waterproof Endura Superlite I've also bought a Montane Featherlite Velo, its only showerproof. If I hadn't already had the Endura, I think I would have opted for one of the waterproof Featherlites, I'm really impressed with the size the compact to.

another vote for the montane, only shower proof but packas away tiny, about the size of an apple

I've got a Montane Jetstream - waterproof, breathable (as much as anything is breathable!) and packs away tiny. For lightweight and 'packability' there can't be much out there to beat it? Although, I could be proved wrong........................
