Can someone please recommend a light weight rain jacket that I can buy.
I’m currently using a vigalante soft shell/ waterproof. Great jacket but far to big and heavy.
Was after something very light and good value.

or something from torpedo 7, cheaper jackets dont breath well. and dont last long compared to more expensive ones

Great reply’s thanks all these look really good.
bivouac have the OR helium on clearance up to medium size
That helium jacket looks amazing. If only it was available in large.

they might not sell to NZ, you would then need to use a mail forwarding company to be able to get it into NZ

Macpac Transition - wifey has had a proto over the past 6 months and it has been great. Super breathable due to the combination of two fabrics but reinforced in the right areas to ensure it can still handle the wear from your pack straps. And only 220g, almost as light as the hightail anorak (which is my go-to jacket for trail running, rogaining, and climbing but isn’t quite as durable).

I got a Fjorgyn anorak from Klattermusen (Swedish). Very lightweight.
Value for money because it hasn't rained for me since i got it.
european stuff is good quality and well designed but often eye wateringly expensive.
the macpac hightail has been discontinued
