Lightweight bomber jacket is basically a city wind jacket. Best for spring/summer riding on cooler days to keep the breeze off and will hold off a shower fine for the length of a short commute but isn't fully waterproof.
Women's wind jacket is thinner so less warm but with the same wind-deflecting abilities.
The rain bomber is an entirely different jacket which is better for autumn/winter as it's a lot warmer (it's got a mesh lining inside which makes a lot of difference), it will keep you dry even if it's torrentially raining and keep 100% wind out but is still very breathable. So during winter I wear it as my everyday commuting jacket to keep out all the elements, not just rain.
