Shell/membrane jacket with dropped rear hem needed

I have just one cycling jacket that's made of that single-layer very breathable material, it's packable and incredibly lightweight. I need a few more because it's getting tiring rinsing out the same jacket after every outing but my original one is years old and not for sale any more, plus it was very expensive.

I need the thinness because I will be running in it also, and dropped hem because I will be hopping on the bike to cycle home after running. I have found a nice, very thin jacket in Sainsbury's but it doesn't have the dropped hem.

It also has to be a bright colour as I cycle where there are lots of tractors on single track roads. It doesn't have to be hi-viz necessarily but not black or grey etc. So yellow, bright blue, bright pink etc.

Does anyone own a jacket like this that they can recommend?

I own a lot of jackets like this but all cycling brands. So Castelli, Rapha, endura. I’ve got a Rab one actually which is a walking jacket. I’d say look on Wiggle at cycling jackets. Also Buffalo windstoppers if they still make them, mines 30 years old and going strong.

Thanks but the Decathlon ones are all thicker, commuter style jackets. I have plenty like that already, anyway, you wouldn't want to run in them except maybe in winter.

I mean the super light jackets, where the material is so thin you almost feel you could tear it if you are a bit rough.

The one I linked too is definitely so thin you think you could tear it.

@QuintanaRoo Thanks, that looks great and exactly the kind of thing I meant. How's the breathability? Does it come down over your bum?

My Rab jacket is a Kinetic I think and is very light, but not as thin as the Endura one.

Breathe ability is amazing. It does cover my bum I think, certainly the top bit of my bum. I cycle in it and never wished it was longer.

@QuintanaRoo Great, thanks so much for the help. I may have to whip out the credit card!
