I am pretty pleased with the Showers Pass Elite Pro. Very lightweight, good waterproofing and breathability. It is totally a racer cut though - very slim, very short in front and long arms.

The lightest jackets are under 4 ounces. Just remember the lighest stuff usually rips in a crash. The 8oz jackets are a little tougher. Also get a cycling vest with mesh back, you'll use them layered together and make adjusting to the weather and your effort level easy.

North Face VERTO is an excellent “just in case” summertime downpour jacket, put it in your bag(or jersey pocket) and forget about it, packs down so fricken small and weighs nothing! The hood is a bit tight over helmet, but it’s thin so under works, also the sleeves have a lot of material that flap around in wind. This is not really my go to jacket on wet rainy day rides for long periods of time, for me it’s a “emergency” jacket for rain showers or higher elevation chill.

I have a Sierra Designs micro-light jacket. It stuffs into a small stuff sack attached to one of the pockets.

Off topic a bit.. but for true emergencies I often do carry a large trash bag. To be worn poncho style.

Ditto. And it has multiple uses, and will fit over a bag.

For the reals, though, I use a North Face Anorak. Fits over my bag, and helmet. And no hood is a good thing.
