I am looking for a small tiny packable gilet that will fit into a rear pocket and not make my jersey feel huge and weighed down. I've been looking at the sportful ultralight but firstly it's only a men's gilet and I'm not sure even the XS will fit me. Anyone got any suggestions or recommendations? thanks.

I've got an Endura MTR Emergency Shell which is very lightweight and packs down small, and while it's not women's specific it's a tight fit so an XS might be ok.

Ah apologies I misread gilet as jacket for some reason. I'm a 180cm tall bloke with a weight of 60kg so pretty slim build, the jacket is a small and it's snug, though I can fit a jersey underneath, if any of this helps.

Montane do a very good tiny packable, though I don't know how bosom-compatible it is.

Simon thanks for that I had seen it but being typically fussy!! Black is too dark for road riding and not good for safety and the pink is vile!!! Just seen this Castelli one possibly liking the blue:

but again this is 62grams and the sportful one is something silly like 32g!

I've got a women's Wiggle/DHB one which is fine and weighs nothing.
