I'm in Missouri, the weather is so unpredictable that people say if you don't take rain gear you will get rained on. I have exaggerated that you need to have rain gear during a drought. Our weather in summer is hot and humid so a heavy waterproof layer makes sweat

I used a circa 1998 Eddie Bauer rain jacket for years that weighed around 3 pounds. I finally replaced it with a Columbia Evapouration jacket that's 12.8 ounces.

I like the jacket, it's great as a fall to spring jacket, but I want one for summer that's much lighter.

If you couldn't get Frogg Toggs (they're already on my list) what would you get?

1. Something that compresses down really tight and is well under 12 ounces.
2. I like zip up jackets, not pull over ponchos, but item #1 is more important.
3. it needs to be durable. I don't want one that is targeted to frequent replacement as a business model
4. I might spend money for the right product, show me all price tiers
