Can anyone reccomend a good packable lightweight rain jacket for bicycle commuting? - lightweight rain jacket
I have several jackets for this purpose (in Denmark - is nessesary).
I use a Bergans "(Mk Norway, Bell exellent flexible and cheap.
I use an "art", for cycling, hip pockets, bright yellow product, above, but not cheap
And the law very difficult I use a "Norrøna" Gore-Tex Paclite rain jacket to stay as one million years and can be folded into a compartment the size of a cap will have. So damn expensive, more than $ 300 U.S.
I also have a few (sorry, lost his name), another man, the Pearl Izumi recommended. I'm not too ecstatic at the moment with the longevity, but fine quality ...

Nashbar has several options in Nice, sales of most of the time.
Things to consider;
strong color, neon good.
Pullover or zip-up?
It can serve as windbreaks light, so you have a thin layer.
Double zipper pulls so that you can unzip the bottom and not sag on you.
Pockets? No, front, side, rear?
Packing Group I, not only in separate bag Ditty.

If you come by car but not necessarily a specific budget for cycling - he, and probably more expensive "high tech", you will need.
I went to REI or EMS (depending on where you live) - Raincoats not be suitable for light rain jacket and you'll probably pay less than if you bought a bike shop for a bicycle ($ 40 or $ 50 instead of $ 75 or 80).
