As above. I want a jacket for emergency road use (i.e. must fold up small enough to fit in my back pocket), not bothered about it being totally waterproof, just enough to take the edge of in case the weather turns.

I'd also like to be able to use it for running in poor weather, so ventilation might be an issue. Also, must have a zip pocket capable of taking phone/keys/wallet.

Any recommendations?

Montane Featherlite? Its lightweight and fairly cheap. I use mine for cycling and running, I think its fine.
Though it doesn't have any pockets.

Haglofs Shield Pullover

Personally I've got a Montane Featherlite smock which is good but a bit too loose fitting. A couple of mates have got the Haglofs and it's great.

Montane Featherlite Velo H20.

No pocket, but then when I'm running the last thing I want is stuff jangling away in a pocket.

TNF Triumph or Marmot Essence if the pocket is worth the extra £30-40

I have the montane featherlite marathon, no idea if it has a pocket but otherwise it fits your bill.

Check places like Field and Trek for offers, I didn't pay much at all for mine.
