I've been looking for a rain jacket to use in SE Asia and for the odd rainy days in summer. This jacket seems decent for $60 (5000 water resistance & breathability @ 420g). I checked it out in the store and bought it. It's sturdy and can be easily rolled into my backpack. I'd pay the extra over the $20 Kmart rain jacket (which felt very flimsy).

Product Description
This anorak blends urban aesthetics with functionality. It's seam sealed and waterproof with a peaked hood to provide waterproof protection on wet days.
It has gussets under the arms for freedom of movement and there's a zip on the side of the body to make pulling it on and off easy. An elasticated drawcord at the hem also lets you adjust it for a snug or baggy fit.
The large zipped kangaroo pocket makes for easy storage and zipped hand pockets can also be used for storing small personals while on the go. Thoughtfully designed, this anorak also stuffs into the kangaroo pocket to become a carry bag with another functional pocket so it's easy to carry when not being worn.
The styling for this anorak was inspired by our very own archives featuring the Macpac Heritage logo on the chest.
