I have a Travelsmith lightweight jacket made of microfiber that sheds water really well, dries very quickly and has a number of pockets and could pass for a sports coat. I haven't worn it in the woods, but the material, which feels good to the hand, could be suseptible to picking from branches, etc. It packs small, sheds wrinkles is washable and dry cleanable. It is an excellent country coat or travel coat, warn and windproof over a light wool sweater and cool enough in most summer weather over a regular shirt. It buttons up all the way around the neck but has no hood. You can see it here, reasonably priced. http://www.travelsmith.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1597&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C251%2C466&iProductID=1597&sortBy=0
