Rain gear for Iceland and Scandinavia

I’m traveling to Iceland and Scandinavia. Can you recommend a good packable rain poncho?

You want a lightweight waterproof raincoat/jacket. This will also help with wind. A poncho won't cut it.

Do a search on this site for lots of suggestions.

I have this one. It weighs just over 11oz. and packs into it's own pocket. It's kept me dry in downpours including Norway and Scotland.

Been to Iceland and experienced serious rainfall and wind while walking about. I remained dry and comfortable using a proper hooded raincoat and rain pants. Visit REI if possible. A packable rain poncho? NOPE!
