cheap fold down waterproof jacket?

[Mrklaw]

Something I can put in my bag every day just in case it tips it down. I just commute about 20 mins each side of a train journey so not major miles - can I just grab a pack a mac type thing or are there benefits in something more suited to cycling (eg breathable). Would much prefer it to be something that can be folded/scrumpled down to a small size if possible. If that isn't practical its ok - just a preference.

Any pac a mac should be fine. Breathable is better but you shouldn’t get that sweaty in 20 minutes

I have something called a Funkier raincape, £30 packs small

Indeed £20 at Wiggle if you fit XL

Howies do a nice one that packs down to the size of a bar of soap.

Any of the Gore range is good although might not pack that small.

Any rain jacket should do the job, but a cycling specific jacket will tend to have a lower back length and usually longer arms with storm cuffs.

I'm old enough to remember that, but young enough to take offence at being compared to him. (just about)

Can beat that I remember when it was screened in black and white.
