Good Cycling Jacket.
I need something pretty light with some good size pockets for holding stuff. Any suggestions?

I have an older Pearl Izumi Jacket that is super lightweight, water proof, and folds into itself and becomes a fanny pack when you need it to be small. Its held up for five or six years now, its sweet.

I got a Louis Garneau jacket from my LBS on sale for $40. It's awesome because it is waterproof, has fleece lining, you can remove the arms, and you have two zip pockets up front and one large one in the back.

I got a nice Cannondale convertible (sleeves zip off and attach with magnets! cool!) jacket marked down to cost from my LBS ('08 season) and love it. Like many others here, waterproof, lightweight and made for riding. I like that it fits perfectly while i'm in riding position because it was designed for just that purpose. The sleeves are nice and long for when you're stretched out on a road bike and it has vents and mesh lining to keep you cool and dry.

Check out these guys. The "Yellow Jacket" is great with side and back zipper pockets, multiple venting and it's light weight. Great price for the quality too.

the other day i tried on the north face M mountain light jacket and i'm definitely getting it for winter. it fit really well. right now i have a north face waterproof sheel that i like but comes up a bit in the back when riding. the m mountain light was a little bit longer, and allows you to zip in a fleece liner for layering up. also had 2 inside pockets, 2 regular outside and one on the sleeve, and a hood that rolls inside.
