I am gonna assume that since you want it packable, you want this for some sort of backcountry hunt. Which means there is going to be a good deal of physical activity. If so, I would go with Helly Hansen Impertec, it is non-breathable, but I have found that the windbrake it provides combined with good synthetic clothing underneath, I stay warm even when I am wet. My opinion is there is no such thing as good rain gear. I have tried many different types and I ended up wet no matter what I got. If I had breathable, eventually the water soaked in. If I got non-breathable, I sweated my behind off.
