Look at the Montane and Salomon range too. Usually available from Cotswold Outdoor and Blacks.
The really lightweight ones are more for being caught in a shower, get the coat on and find shelter. They're not ideal for torrential down pours. I use a pocket rocket and find that if the rain is heavy and lasts for 10 minutes or more I will still get wet, however I do stay warm and that is more important.
Another point I will add... water can sometimes get in through the zips and the neck. Some of the better options have zip covers/flaps and draw strings or elasticated neck and wrist areas.
