Best rain jacket for Sahyadri trekking + bike rides?

I'm looking for a lightweight rain jacket mainly for Sahyadri treks during the monsoon and also for bike rides to the trek.

A bit about my use case:

  • Maharashtra/Sahyadri treks (Harishchandragad, Rajgad, Panhala–Pavan Khind, etc.)
  • I ride my bike to the trek and then hike.

I currently own a Zeel raincoat, but it's quite heavy and I get very sweaty.

I'm considering:

  1. Decathlon Quechua MH150 Waterproof Hiking Jacket

I'm looking for:

  • Good waterproofing
  • Better breathability (less sweating)
  • Comfortable for 6–8 hour treks
  • Decent enough for bike rides too

If you've personally used either of these (or have a better recommendation under ₹4,000), I'd really appreciate your feedback.
