After some recommendations, I want something slim fitting with longish arms. Most of the jackets i have tried on have been either fine in the body but too short in the arm or the body is baggy and long and the arms are ok.

As for style, no pockets, no pointless trim, preferably not yellow, just something simple, light, waterproof and that packs down small so i can stash it in a jersey pocket.

Any brands likely to be worth a look,
