    Not really. It's definitely not race cape dimensions when it's folded/packed down.

    It's a bloody good jacket though. The double front zip/vent system is a great idea and works really well.

    I got a 2012 version in a Spring sale for around £90 but would replace it tomorrow, paying full price if I had to.

    It seems that the 2013 version in your link is made of a different material to the one I have. Mine is GoreTex Paclite. Not sure what, or if there's any difference in performance with the material Mavic are using now.

    Thanks for coming back - all reports/reviews are great for the Mavic but really need a decent packable jacket. Ordered Rapha rain jacket last night but cancelled this morning. Will probably go for Gore Xenon AS 2.0 - only £110 at PBK at mo
