Is it going to fit??????? I have 2 back pockets but wouldn't have thought them big enough??

raincape fits into a pocket easily. depends what you have...

I have just this week started commuting in proper cycling jerseys, really handyto have the extra storage capacity, means most days I can do away with the rack and panier and just use the pockets and a large saddle bag.
And yes, a relatively thin shower proof jacket will fit

jersey back pocket.
You would be surprised at how much you can stuff in one's jersey pockets.

Jersey back pocket, sometimes waterproof in spare bottle cage, held with old toestrap, if also carrying a windproof jacket in my jersey. Have seen waterproofs carried in a cut off bidon in a bottle cage, or strapped under the saddlepack. I often wear a jersey with a gilet on top - both with pockets. You can get a lot in 6 pockets!

In the gap between the saddlepack and the saddle and then held in place with the nylon strap from pedal clips.

On my back of course (assuming it's cold or raining)

If it's a big waterproof then you are goosed. They come in 'packability' sizes, some are better than others. Remember the lighter the rain cape, the less good it may be in rain. That said in summer you will just want something to ensure you are warm, even if wet.

I've got one of these 750 mL storage bottles. It can just about take a lightweight waterproof jacket. It's handy for all sorts of stuff.

On a Sunday ride the light rain jacket goes in my back pocket, I also have a traditional cape and I keep that in my work bag.

I like to put soft things in my back pockets (Jackets,Gilet,Inner Tubes, etc) and solid things (keys, multitools etc) in my wedge bag; I find the two types of items don't mix but the former also provides padding in a fall

Good point. Having a lot of hard things in your back pocket is probably not a good idea. A friend went over the bars of his MTB, landing flat on his back. The rigid plastic sandwich box hit the ground first, shortly followed by his spine. He's OK, but was in some pain for six months.
