Recommend a very light pack light water proof jacket i can carry on a camelback, maybe the cheap ones will do the job.
I've got a £25 karrimor from sports direct fits nicely in my caradice zip roller with the tools
I have a Castelli Sottile jacket for lightweight summer use. Packs small into jersey pocket.

A cheaper alternative, Planet X Aqualight.

I got this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-minima-s-waterproof-jacket/
I like it. Packs up very small, very waterproof, don't get all sweaty riding in it
Which karrimor jacket is it that sounds cheap and cheerful
Sorry to hijack. Any that don't look hideous?
Montane featherlite velo

I've got one of these. Seems pretty good. Packs into something about the size of a coke can (ie easily pocketable) and waterproof. Might not hold up to many crashes but seems well made.
If you want cheap, Decathlon do them for about £10 or £15. They do the job.
I've got a Montane of some sort, it wasn't the cheapest but it's light and tiny and decently waterproof without being sweaty as a binbag like most cheap jackets.
I'm a big fan of gilets though- smaller still and more packable, and generally more useful in anything but orrible weather (at which point I'd want a proper waterproof anyway, rather than my packable)
Might be some cheap endura pakajaks on eBay?
Altura pocket rocket. Properly waterproof (not just shower proof) , reasonably windproof, very small pack size, moderately boil in the bag.
+1 for Altura pocket rocket, but does get a bit warm
+2 for Pocket Rocket, folds down really small in it's stuff bag. bit pricey tho. but it is a proper waterproof.
Thanks I got a dare 2 b jacket from tx max for 19.99 it has no hood but very light and packable. I will look at the pocket rockets and others thanks
