@Lady Grey @gixer @Daymoth You mentioned omm Aether smocks / Omm lighteight jacket.... I managed to get my hands on an Aether Jacket but feel tempted to return or sell it on as I am worried about my backpack rubbing against the what feels like flimsy material and damaging it.
I read on an ultra-lightweight gear site a review for the Montane minums (or other super lightweight jacket, cant remember) saying it is not suitable for those backpacking cos of above mentioned issue...
What are your experiences / insights with this ?

Only don the waterproof when raining....don't wear as your main jacket.....microfleece or primaloft for example
for most of time.
That extends jacket life....only use this type of gear for long trips where weight on back is priority....such as French Alps at this very blissful moment....
In U.K. I use a more durable waterproof
