There is something wrong with me when, as I walked out the front door this morning, I was excited to see a downpour.  It gave me a chance to test out this jacket that came in the mail during the week.  This is, simply put, my perfect design for a packable waterproof to carry around town or in my backpack while hiking.  It doesn't add a lot of bulk, and provides a good barrier against the rain.  It packs well into the provided pocket and can be stuffed nearly anywhere for easy access.  As with any moisture barrier garment, you will tend to get a bit sweaty if the temperature is up and you are doing any activity, so a wicking underlayer is a must if using this for hiking.
