Light Jackets for Travelling

Hey,

Got a question... I'm looking for a jacket to take to Canada when I go at the end of next week. I'll be going from Vancouver and around up to the Rockies and back again on a tour, so I won't be doing much other than some hiking and going to see the glacier and some horse riding... (Also something that looks good for wearing just around town when I'm back home for the Melbourne winter.)

So I'm looking for a jacket that fits these specs:

* For a female/unisex
* Lightweight
* Rolls up to a very small size to put in a suitcase or day pack
* Waterproof
* Windproof
* Breathable
* Soft material but durable enough to scrunch up in the case

Does anyone have suggestions?

URL links to a page that shows the jacket (and specs) would be fantastic, but otherwise this is the info I'm after:

Brand, Name, Weight, Price, Colour Info, Fabric Info.

Thanks heaps!! ^_^

BTW, these are some jackets I've been suggested already (any opinions on any of these would be great, too, if you've worn them yourself!):
