I want something that doesn't have too much insulation more for autumn spring than mid winter, so a nice thin material, no hood, reasonably bright colour with some reflective bits.
And something with real sizing, so not gore bikewear.

Any reconsiderations?

Picked up one cheap in a Cotswold sale - windproof, very breathable, shower resistant, reproofs very well and pretty tough. The full hood is great for puncture/mechanical/food stops - rolls away quite neatly when you dont want it. Mine is great for showery or drizzly days.

Material is soft to the touch so is OK over a short sleeve base layer for milder weather. There's no insulation at all but it works well with one or more base-layers.

Unfortunately reflective bits are very limited but I guess you can't have everything.
