What lightweight, pocketable wind/shower-proof jacket?

[RedRider]

I've noted some shout-outs for the Montane Featherlight Velo here and elsewhere but I'm struggling to find one on sale in a non-flouro, suitable size from a vendor I'm familiar with. What do people carry in their pockets for keeping the wind out when the weather turns?

My favourite is an old Lidl running jacket, folds up into itself to the size of an apple - much like the Montane. It was fluoro, but it's a nice faded pale yellow now. The most effective is a BBB translucent jacket (Rainshield?) a bit bigger when folded, but still fits in a jersey pocket. These are around £50 - 60 though. (Also quite waterproof, and breathable).

I use hiking waterproofs from a camping shop to keep rain off but if its windy/cold when I go out I wear an Altura Windstopper zipup cycling top, very nice blue top with retroreflective flashes in silver, and one rear pocket has a zip. Not sure about the quality though its only 5yrs old!

I don't think the OP wants yellow

Ok, I don't know what size the OP is but can get women's one here.

Ta for all the tips. The Pearl Izumi looks good but the only colour on sale is the red and black and I'm just about sad enough to swerve it for footballing reasons. Ideally I'm looking for something around the £50 mark or less. Vickster...good spot with the Montane Velo from Cairngormbike and hike. Have you bought from these before? They have a large which I may go for but will have a scout around my local bike shops first. Cheers again.
