As title, looking for a lightweight wind proof cheapish packable jacket to chuck in the camelbak for the 'summer'.
Any highly recommended? Endura Pakajak?

Also worth looking at Montane's Singletrack, I found it a more comfortable fit than the velo, and i'm not exactly well built.

As above, all of the Montane windproofs are great, pack real small and weigh very little.

I have a Montane Velo and Pakajak and prefer the latter. Better fit and slightly thicker fabric. Can take a tumble onto tarmac and hold it's own too!

I have an Endura Helium that is quite nice... doesn't go crazy small, but is actually nice to wear.

Not done a proper comparison but been quite happy with the breathability of both. I run pretty warm too.
There's a few features like the cuffs and fit around the neck which give the Endura the edge IMO

fuera Peak is not that light or compact but is very tough for pertex

castelli strada fits comfy in a back pocket or if you really have to, a back pack, it is quite fitted though if you are pie filled

Montane Featherlite for me. I got one for under 30 quid so can afford to crash in it.
