Western Mountaineering Flash. Light, warm and packs small. I have one and it's in the pack for three seasons.

The thought process here is that you can wear this under a raincoat - in light rain they are most likley water repellent - you can test this with a cup of water over a sink...
they are inexspensive and can be stuffed in a waterproof stuff sack and they compress to the size of a baseball in your pack - remember NOT to store it that way!

Thy REI Revelcloud gets good reviews , www.rei.com/product/807678/rei-revelcloud-vest (http://www.rei.com/product/807678/rei-revelcloud-vest) . I'm waiting on cold weather to give a fair review .
I saved a bundle by choosing the not so popular Cayenne Pepper color online at $ 44.83.
