Any one know of a good lightweight goretex jacket. I am looking for black or green solid all weather jacket to also be a rain jacket. I need something light enough to not cook me here in Florida.
Thanks
 
I chose the Marmot Thunderlight jacket. However, at 20 or so ounces, it's only light within the context of super-sturdy, full-featured mountaineering garments. Thus, it may not be suitable for what you are looking for.
 
Try this --
The stashaway shirt
I've been using this out here in Washington State for about a year. The Stashaway is the heat -- in a downpour I'd go with a Goretex jacket but for drizzle and intermittent rain, this is great. Very compact also, rolls up into a ball slightly larger than my fist. It's made out of a fabric called "Pertex".

Hope that helps!
