I need to replace this:

Its basically not windproof. It might just work on a warm day but as a utility, stuffed in the saddle bag jacket it doesn't work. I am well out of the loop, so what would be best to replace that? Needs to be light, fold up small and be decently windproof and even better if it is water resistant...

Looks like the rapha pro jacket is EOL- none in my size. The Wind Jacket looks a possibility though.

Hugely different products though. If you want to reach for the Pro Team jacket then you'll never be stowing it. Indeed, at this time of the year, it's probably overkill over the Alpha. The wind jacket is very good. But there are many many cheaper alternatives to that one.

I thought that might be the case- I just really want one that is actually windproof in comparison to my current one! This one would probably work on a day that is already warm but the wind picks up, but not much use for anything else.

You clearly read the thread...

Then, as above... they are all made of the same type of fabric, they are all the same. If yours is not good for you, that none of them is
...apart from the aforementioned Sportful No Rain light top, which is effectively a very thin, unlined, stretchy soft shell jacket. Can stuff in a jersey pocket and is very breathable compared with other 'shells I've tried. Windproof and works well in showers too. If you can get one in a deal I'd definitely recommend one.
...although Gabbas and their ilk are also brilliant windproofs that tend to breathe well. That said, I got my Sportful top for under 50 notes so way cheaper than the Gabba
I've used mine all winter, in all weathers and can't praise it enough. Totally waterproof and breathable.
Probably the best piece of cycling kit I've ever owned. They are pricey though.
