Don't know if it's still made, but I picked one up from Cabela's several years ago.  This one has arms and a hood and folds into its own pocket about the size of half a football.  Has come in handy the few times I needed it.

Cabelas space rain jacket.  Stuffs into its own pocket, weighs next to nothing, very waterproof, reasonably priced and pretty tough.

Army surplus poncho. Can't beat the price!

I don't do ponchos.  But I swear by the breathable Frog Togg brand rain jackets and pants that pack very small.  

I spent two years on an island where it rained  8 feet per year  and rain gear was never more than a couple steps from your hands if you wanted to be dry and comfortable.  I'm still never more than a couple steps from my Frogg Toggs.

I see they now make ponchos as well.
