OMM says:
Womens ultra lightweight, breathable and packable waterproof jacket. Designed to function in all conditions, with mountain jacket features and constructed using minimal seams in a 2.5 layer waterproof fabric.
OMM's Women's Halo Jacket is a simple and effective racer shell. Weight is the key so there are no pockets, limited adjustments and no fancy features that will add weight. The jacket still has an elasticated hood and cuffs, thumb loops on the cuffs and simple adjustments on the hem.
This jacket has taped seams, so it meets the mandatory kit list requirement, and is super light. It is not aimed as anything but a shell for throwing in your pack for trail and mountain races. It doesn't have the highest waterproof or breathability rating but for what it is used for it is spot on and it is significantly cheaper than the competition.
