Autumn's here with a vengeance, so I'm looking at this season's kit.
Anyone happily using an ultra-lightweight rainproof jacket? Ideally one that can stow in the rear pocket of a jersey.
Altura Pocket Rocket - waterproof, windproof, breathable and packs mega small.
I have a Montane H2o jacket - very light, packs small and keeps the water at bay.

Something by Montane? I really rate everythin of there's I have.
I've got the velocity DT which you would just about get in a jersey pocket. They also do the featherlight velo which I use in spring autumn(windproof, water resistant) and velo h20 which I don't have (waterproof).
These all look the part. I do like the idea of thumb loops on the Altura though. Great idea.
a bit marginal for back pocket but the gorebike wear alpx in packlite is fantastic
Have alook at my post:

Gore Xenon - used it in peeing rain for a road ride Sunday and was great - v breathable and pretty water resistant!!
Polaris Aqualite......hydra-vent tech for £35!!
Gore Xenon is very good for this. A great cycle specific cut and packs very small.
Not been used in anger yet, but the Endura Helium I just got is light and packs small.
+1 for Endura Helium.
I have used mine in anger and it is great. It is cut fairly snug though - perfect for me, but wouldn't suit a more cuddly rider. Plus it's small enough to put in a pocket when 'out on the town' for the walk home.
