Stuff like this tends to be what you need to spend if you want something that fits all three criteria of waterproof, breathable and packable.
Anything less and one of the three goes out of the window, usually the 'breathable' bit.

Montane Featherlite Velo. Packs down to the size of an apple.
I have one of these - extremely light and small. Keeps me dry too.

I got one of these from Tenn Outdoors off Ebay a while back, they must of made an error as they were only selling it for £25.95 and is now £39.99. It packs down well and is waterproof and fairly breathable. I used to use an Aldi one that was showerproof but let heavy rain in like a tea bag, prior to that I had a cheapo £9.99 Decathalon one that was waterproof but made me sweat like a pig. This one is somewhere inbetween, I am really pleased with it. The only downside is that the arms are baggy and flap a bit in the wind, and I wish it was slightly longer at the back. But I am pretty happy with it for the price. It packs down well enough but is not quite as small as my Aldi one is, then again it is a much better jacket and seems to be waterproof.

I have the female version of this (although it looks like they've stopped supplying the female fit it on the gore website) just make sure what ever you buy is waterproof not water resistant! if your wanting to stay dry. The water just rolls off in beads I'm very happy with mine. It doesn't sweat up inside either my oh bought a muddy fox waterproof but it doesn't wick the moisture away. read all the technical details.

This is not a link to a jacket. Paste it into your Browser and see what comes up.
Yep, a very good jacket.
Though after a few washes it does lose it's waterproofness. So I give it a spraying all over with Grangers Fabsil now and a again.
