Rain jacket

Alston251

Hi all, after getting caught in the rain once I've decided i need a rain jacket.
I need something that is waterproof and packs small to at least fit in a camelbak, if jersey pocket size is possible it would be great. I'll use it for mostly off road riding but may do a bit of road riding.

I'm looking at about the 80 quid price range and i've eyed a couple up in the review archive which are:
The DHB signal, altura night vision flite and the endura flyte.

The one thing that bugs me about the jackets is that they are only made in black and bright yellow. Yellow seems too eye catchy and black seems like a bad idea. What do you guys go with?

Cheers

My LBS sold me a Madison branded one for 25 quid recently, in red. Packs very small and has mesh armpits so no sweating.

I have always liked Endura

I have the Flyte and it is a great jacket, welded seams and a very good level of water proofing..looks good too..and this is a good price and on budget.

Is it breathable?

Yes breathable and also rolls up to enable you to pop it in your backpack

I have the night vision in black. It has more than enough reflective trim and is quite smart. However it does not breath very well thus I wouldnt purchase another
