golf windshirts are what i wear- very light and a generous cut under the arms means they dont pull on me when working.

 they can be quite pricey new, but good ones with the extra special cloth are often on ebay secondhand . they dry in minutes if they get wet

you can get some really good cycling jackets that let in a lot of air but keep the rain out.  the added advantage of cycling jackets is they have especially long arms and backs for the position you're in when cycling.  Also covers your belly and your wrists when stretching window cleaning.  see Craft clothing on www.alwaysriding.co.uk
