I remember reading G's autobiography and him saying that the Rapha Rain Jacket is the best bit of cycling kit he's ever owned. No experience of it myself though!

Out of the ones you listed I've only used the Wind Jacket, but would thoroughly recommend. Really versatile.
Well thought out. Packs into a jersey pocket (with practice). Takes the edge off the cool without getting too hot. Will fend off a bit of rain, stops you getting too cold in a down pour.
The only fault I have is that once zipped up you can't access your jersey pockets.
Fwiw I run quite hot. Plus I'm sceptical about rain jackets. Even the best intentioned get a bit sweaty for high intensity stuff like cycling or running. If its proper rain you're getting wet so why bother? If it's light/intermittent you'll dry off.

Pack jacket is what I wear 90% of the time (mostly off bike). Its great. So is wind jacket (on bike).

Considering buying a jacket in the sale - opinions on the Rain, Wind and Pack jackets for something I can put in a jersey pocket and put on if too cold/wet ?
Also considering the Pro Team softshell for winter, anyone got one ?
