I use both the Patagonia Houdini and the now defunct Alpine Houdini.

The first I use strictly as a wind layer. I actually find myself using the houdini vest more than the hoody.

The Alpine Houdini is a little bit heavier (like an ounce) but it's a proper rain jacket. That's what goes in my pack for multi-day rides/endurance events. I take the pants as well.

The Alpine Houdini has been discontinued but the Helium II from Outdoor Research is essentially the same thing - an ultralight 2.5 layer WPB jacket. I picked one up for my wife.

All of the above pack down to the about size of a tennis ball.
