I’m looking for a good quality rain jacket that is waterproof and is reasonably breathable. It has to be pacakble (jersey pocket), but does not have to be warm.
What rain jacket are you using? Is it any good? Would you buy it again?
Many thanks

I’ve got a few
I’ve got a few
Sportful Hot Pack No Rain Stretch (very packable, very waterproof, reasonably breathable – great in an emergency)
Castelli Pave Event jacket (pretty packable, very waterproof, the most breathable jacket I’ve used) – also bought for £110 from Evans in recent sale, although it’s too expensive at RRP.
Have also tried Goretex Active shell (not quite breathable enough for me), and the new Sportful Fiandre Extreme in Polatec Neoshell fabric (very good, but I was between sizes and it was more of a ‘wear all day jacket’ rather than a typical shell jacket, and the lining looked like it’d retain any moisture build up).
Otherwise I’m in a Gabba or Sportful No Rain light top – they keep the worst off but breathe well.
