Looking for 2. Any recs most appreciated.

(1)lightweight and compressible. The O2 is not compressible to stuff it into a jersey pocket, let alone stuff other things like clif bars in too. My previous one (recently left in an airport) was from adidas. Weighed nothing and easily compressible.

(2) normal weight and easily compressible -- I have an old one from pearl but it's stiff although I can stuff it into a jersey pocket. I think it's lost some of its waterproofness and it never breathed very well.

Naturally, I want it all, including a moderately low price. The previous jackets were from outlet type sales. So $ instead of $$$.

I do not believe in the magical paridoxical combination of
"breathable / waterproof".

However, the I get some ventilation (not enough) from my... um, I
think it's a Perfomance house brand jacket - with huge pit zips all
the way open. I think it was ~$100 (might probably have gotten it on
sale). It rolls up tight into its own inverted rear pocket (mesh on
inside).
