Lightweight waterproof

Any recommendations for the above-I have an Endura Gridlock for cooler duties & a Montane featherlight for a windshirt (bit flappy in the wind though)but need a lightweight packable waterproof jacket for a 15 mile commute & emergency MTB duties-only really need it a few times a year normally so don't want to spend a fortune.

I use an Endura Rebound jacket. It is only 'showerproof' but the big bonus is that it's cheap (£35) and very breathable. Review here:

I don't know how much you need to pack it down, but it seems to pack down to a lump about 14cm across and 6-7cm deep (I have mine here with me at work), although you can obviously squidge it down a little bit more with some pressure.

Its good for MTB duties because when you rip it you won't have ruined a £100 eVent jacket or suchlike.

The Montane H20, pack down really tiny, and I've found it to be pretty waterproof for a lightweight jacket. Costs about £35-£40.

i have one of the new montane iltespeed h20 jackets in orange, worn it twice it has one tiney oil spot about 1-2mm, its too big for me want to sellit to get the next size down, i paid 43 posted new (70 retail) looking for 30 plaus postage on it, packs down slightly bigger than the featherlite wind tops, claims full waterproof, been fine for the 2 showers i've worn it it.

email in profile if int can do some pics size is medium

thanks

Thanks for the offer Karnali but it would be too big for me-my featherlight is small and a bit on the flappy side.

Endura superlight – packs pretty small.
I bought a Marmot Mica[/url] off here last week and that's very packable and waterproof (good breathability too, and the hood fits over a helmet.

I love my Gore Alp X which I picked up in a sale but normally they are around £100 – £120.
