Ive got a Berghaus packlight and find it far too thick and warm for anything but Winter.

I need something very light and thin for summer for when it starts chucking down - any recommendations? Price up to £100.

Cheers

These are great, not completely waterproof but breathe well.
Goes into a sac that clips on your belt so better than the coat you left at home.

I'd forget trying to be *waterproof* when cycling. Any effort through the pedals creates too much sweat and Gore Tex etc cannot cope with breathing properly.

I have lots of experience in the purchase of uber expensive tops only to find NOTHING works in cycling (if you're putting in effort).

In the cold I use Buffalo, in the warm I don't care.
