I am looking for a half zip super light windproof to hang off my harness that packs into its pocket or something like that. Must have a hood. Recommendations welcome. Thanks.
I've got a Rab Vital full zip. packs into its own pocket to about grapefruit size. Weighs nearly nothing and the hood just squeezes over a helmet too. Great for belays in the wind and water resistant enough to survive a High Tor summer downpour half way up and stay mostly dry!
Picked it up cheap in the sale for about £50 I think.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but nothing quite fits the brief yet in terms of being actually available, half zip, super light (rather than softshell/waterproof etc), stuff in its own pocket (no stuff sack) to hang off harness.
Mine is a couple of decades old and still in great condition. Just don’t expect it to be waterproof on it’s own though very light rain is ok for a bit.

Patagonia Houdini Anorak fits the bill if you can find one from last season. It looks like it's discontinued in favor of the full zip now.
