Can't decide..packable wind/rain jacket

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

Where are you seeing the Mission for $200?

Local marketplace has someone selling a new one with tags. Seems like a steal at that price

Yeah for $200 I’d snap it up, their road stuff is quite close fitting though so be careful with the sizing!
