My problem with the Propore, when I tried it was that though it is VERY light, it's pretty bulky.  I had envisioned it as something I could keep in a jersey pocket on a long day out.  It can be carried in a jersey pocket, but only in an awkward, overflowing way. 
 
 

 
 






Hi Mac- So, have you found something light and waterproof that is also more compact than the Propore jacket?  I have a Red Ledge I've used for backpacking but it is both bulkier and heavier than the 3M Rainsheild.

BTW, for anyone shopping for a Propore jacket... I have the small cycling jacket that fits pretty tight in the arms.  I recently purchased the hooded, non cycling jacket, for hiking.  I assumed I needed a medium.  The medium was way too large and even the small is somewhat loose.  So, IME, the cycling jackets are sized small and the hooded jackets are sized big.
