I picked up one of these for £55 from ULOG as a present for my stepfather this week. I have to say I was pretty impressed. Even at the full price of £75ish it looks like a good 3 season waterproof, the seams are fully sealed and has a hydrostatic head of 1500mm, perfect for those rides where the odd heavy shower is likely. The arms and back were cut very, very long and in general it was certainly a slim fit.
Packed up it was about the size of a small orange, on the scales the L was 172g.

Re: Montane Featherlite Velo H2O
CRC also had then on offer for £55.99, so I just picked up a Med for myself.
I hadn't realised how long the arms or tail was, they're huge! Lots of coverage.
Med came in at 153g, I'm pretty sure there is another 10g+ to save once I've removed the various surplus toggles and cord that isnt needed on an emergency waterproof.
1/2 the weight of my eVent Pace 3x3 and about 2/3rds packsize. If it's raining when I set off then I'll wear the Pace, if it's looking dry then I'll take the Montane in case of emergency.
I have to wait till Xmas for it though
