Lightweight jackets

Has anyone got any recommendations for a lightweight water resistant jacket for ladies please . I walk my son to school which is about a 20 -25 minute walk then go for my run straight from school and with the colder wet and windy weather I'm freezing with just a vest top or very thin t shirt. Hoping to find one I can fold up and put in a bum bag or just tie round my waist when I start running .

I wear a ASICS showerproof jacket at the mo, nice & light & doesn’t make much noise. Think l shall need a waterproof one for winter though 👍🏻
