Looking for a new rain jacket for when I'm caught in a shower mid-ride. Must be able to fit easily into a jersey pocket or a cut-down water bottle.

My current three candidates are Showers Pass Pro Tech, Showers Pass Double Century, and Gore Ozone II.

Does anyone have experiences with any of these or have recommendations for others?

Thanks.

SHowers Pass Pro Tech has worked well for me over the past two years.

It fits in the rear jersey pocket nicely, when not in use

I second the Assos although admittedly I went with the Gore Bike Wear Xenon race jacket, which is a bit too warm for raining weather. I pack a Castelli vest with the intention of getting to a safe location but I have set off for rides wearing it.
