Fwiw I use:
Remote = Montane Minimus over merino layer(s) depending on time of year.
Local = Montane featherlite (wind jacket) over Merino.
Last night the wind jacket came off as I warmed up and was carried scrunched up in my hand as it's tiny. Although wet the merino layer (long sleeve) kept me warm. In winter I'd do same with extra mesh layer under the merino.
If it's a shorter local run from & to home I'd likely not bother with waterproof.

What are people's experiences with waterproof jackets
I just need something lightweight & packable that I can take out when / if (but most likely when, given the current weather) the weather turns, although I not planning to be anywhere particularly remote (maybe 10 minutes from a village at any point).
They all seem to be insanely expensive though - Even more so, considering how infrequently I expect to be wearing one.
Currently my top choice is the Salomon Bonatti Race Jacket - £80, 160g, 10k/10k
To be honest, it's my only choice, unless I can find something cheaper & as good.
