I'm looking at investing in a decent lightweight waterproof jacket with a budget of around £200-£250

It will be used only for hill walking and I don't carry a pack so durability isn't a major concern. The most important thing for me is the breathability.

So far I have shortlisted:

Montane phase nano

Montbell rain trekker 

Mountain equipment firefox 

Does anybody have any experience of these jackets or have any other recommendations?.

Thanks

In reply to AlexUKH:

Patagonia Storm 10 jacket is lightweight and packs down small in its own chest pocket. Hang it from your waist belt if not carrying a backpack.

Just don't need one for what I'm doing. Only do 1-2hr fast short hikes.
