Packable waterproof jacket

[Gwow]

Does anyone have a waterproof jacket that is very compact when packed but is also fairly stylish when worn?! I feel I may be looking for a unicorn. Thank you!

I've got a Rab very lightweight waterproof jacket. I'm not sure it's stylish but as waterproof jackets go I think it's smart!

I’m looking too. I am pondering this one. It’s short though.

Bought this one for a recent trip. I love how it fits. Unfortunately it did fuck all to keep me dry during even moderate rain.

I love my Protected Species one. It's pricey but they sometimes do 40% off.

There are some that fold smaller but this one is actually enjoyable to wear too and I don't feel like I have to give up on style completely

Uniqlo does one - its "pocketable" range. About £40

I really like the look of the Rains jacket, in ink I think. Not sure how they come up, in terms of size.

Thank you! I shall do some investigating.

😂

I bought this one in a different colour when it was in a sale. Packs down reasonably small and looks OK. I was caught in very heavy rain, had to walk to a bus stop in a downpour and wait for a bus, and it kept me bone dry. So for me it's been a really good purchase.

Argh, forgot the link https://www.joules.com/Women/Clothing/Tenby/Waterproof-Packable-Jacket?size=18&id=221017|WAVYLEOP|18&origin=pe&CAWELAID=620016710001033425&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=&CATCI=&mch=ppc&mcpt=GooglePMax&mcpn=UK||PM||Womens&mct=Womens+SS&mkw=|{productid}&_%24ja=tsid%3A96551|acid%3A830-070-6569|cid%3A18253785076|agid%3A|tid%3A|crid%3A|nw%3Ax|rnd%3A374366720708344152|dvc%3Am|adp%3A|mt%3A|loc%3A1006677&gclid=CjwKCAjwlJimBhAsEiwA1hrp5iar_7ElzSXd5Fad0IKco6FIcvWBinfiT5I3M_am497wvQLsCY4HqBoCIZAQAvD_BwE

Don't search for "packable" just look for a decent lightweight rainproof jacket in the length and colour you like.

Then do as I do, squash it down and shove it in a ziplock bag, (a proper zip top one not the joiny together seams) squeeze the air out, and off you go.

Obviously buy a jacket that you will not be overly "precious" about but will do the job you want!

I do like the look of the Joules one above though!

I have the predecessor to this model. Going strong after 4 years hard use.

Mac in a Sac for price (tip: sign up and get £10 off). Does what it says, but I prefer a longer length and better pocket protection of a Berghaus (tip here is to sign up to Go Outdoors, buy when on offer)

That Joules one looks lovely @FictionalCharacter.
I have a Joules one too but it's more "fun and funky" than smart.
Polka dots.
It's waterproof and does the job fine.
Lighthouse clothing do them also as do Seasalt I think.

Regatta do women's pack it jackets that are very on sale at the moment. They are nice enough.

I have a regatta one. Plain, simple and functional
Around £25

Are the Regatta ones not a bit short ?

I have the Joules polka dot one as well, it’s been great.

The Vivi Mari ones are spendy but ooze quality and hang really well

I've got a berghaus one, my then- teenage DD borrowed it quite a lot and then when she went to uni we got her one. That was 6 years ago and they're going strong, she uses hers a lot.

Joining the thread as I want to burn my pink joules Mac it's awful.
I want lightweight bum covering Mac that doesn't look like I'm prepping for a trek up a mountain.

I’ll add my Seasalt and Mac in a Sac ones to the bonfire. Both are functional but depressing. I’m always on the lookout for a decent replacement.

They are arnt they. I'm leaning toward the rubber style now at least they kind of have a shape!

Wow, these are 👌👌👌

Do they really pack down into that tiny little bag? Might have to indulge... 👀
