RE: Lightweight Raingear
Bass Pro/Redhead Pac-Lite is what I use. Folds up very compact, weighs about a pound total (jacket and pants) and is GORE-TEX.
Whatever you get, make sure its acctually GORE-TEX, not some knock-off. This is one thing that cannot be cheaply immitated. GORE is the only lightweight and breathable material I have found.
