Showerproof, breathable, packable summer jacket...

[sarimillie]

... any ideas? Don't need anything heavy duty, just a lightweight summer jacket- maybe navy or grey- that I can throw on in the mornings or in case of a rain. A bit of length and a hood would be a bonus!

Will watch this thread!

I've been looking for a light rain jacket for ages and cant find one anywhere

This is quite nice.

Landsend
another
This folds into a little bag

Those Lands End ones look good, dexter- thanks for the links. I like the little bag feature of the last one, but wonder if it can be truly breathable at that price ...

I have the last one and it isn't breathable, but is very handy for sticking in a handbag!

If you wanted a very small breathable jacket, the best material for it would be Goretex Paclite - and that would cost you well over £100 normally.

this one here. Not breathable though I don't think.

i bought a really nice one from Primark for £8. I is floral and a good length with hood and zip

Interesting- sounds like I need to get one of those cheap and cheerful options while saving up for Goretex! Thanks all- very helpful.

I got a navy polka dot one in sainsburys. packs into a bag, v nice.

I've just ordered a Ben de Lisi at Principles light cream parka from Debenhams. Possibly not what you are after similar to the Mango one. Worth a look, sorry I can't do links.

That Cath Kidston one is reduced to £18 on ASOS if anyone is thinking of getting it IN THE OUTLET SECTION.

Thanks Morag!
