Really, a change of clothes is more useful than a rain jacket in any case.
I also carry two of something like this:
Amazon.com : Emergency Poncho, Emergency Rain Gear, Weather Protection, Emergency ZoneŽ Brand : Camping First Aid And Safety Equipment : Sports & Outdoors
Mostly as a just in case; a pair fits perfectly in one smaller pocket of my trunk bag and they weigh nothing. I presume I'll likely end up giving them away to someone caught in a rain more than I'll use them, though.
