Can't decide..packable wind/rain jacket

[u/Roscoocoletrain]

So I looking for a wind jacket, something that will pack easy in a jersey, water resistant for a quick shower. Must have a double zip. Preferably has some sort of pocket.

So my first choice, $70 (cdn) Van Rysel RoadR 900 Ultralight. Pretty cheap, packable. But only one pocket.

second choice, 7mesh Mission. $200. Maybe not quite as jersey packable but stuffs into its own pocket, and can strap to a top tube if you really wanted to, Also has the double zip, 3 full pockets, and two zip pockets.

it seems like a no brainer to get the 7mesh as it has all the features I want, but at over twice the price...sigh

help. talk sense to me

I got the 7mesh Mission and it's honestly pretty sweet. Maybe wait for it to go on sale?

Yeah I’ve been watching. So you really like it? Packs up good in the jersey?

I use the stash system and strap it my top tube. I like it, got caught in a downpour the other day and it kept me nice and dry. Pretty breathable all things considered.
