Erm, any idea where I can get one of those coat-rolled-up-in-a-bag type doodahs?

Typed in 'portable raincoat' and Amazon told me to fk off.

Nothing too fancy ala Berghaus, just something cheapish, durable and easy to stuff in a pocket / man-bag.

Literally any outdoors shop will have a load. Just go in, normally they put them in a big unit with individual squares seperated out - the name of such a thing escapes me - and they will have a range of sizes/colours.

Usually called "Mac Pac" or "Mac in a Pac" or "Pacamac" or some such clever name...

Montane make good ones - http://www.montane.co.uk/ . I have one of their smocks that packs down to the size of an apple which I have as a backup on days when I'm cycling and it might rain at some point.

You mean "Cagoule", only you're scared to admit it.

Asda sell Pancho type for 1 pound, in the travel section. Great for Le Mans!

They're not suitable for "man bags", though. I don't think metro-sexuals did cagoules or indeed the outdoors.
