Ah, a cagoule! Oui effectivement!
Funny, but between the last time I looked at this thread and just now, my very feeble memory kicked in to just that concept, and I looked around but found nothing like that that seemed to fit the bill. I seem to recall that in the 1980s many of my climber friends considered a cagoule to be a vital piece of survival gear. But none to be found, at least no lightweight ones that I could find...
Sierra Designs used to make one:

It looks like it is only available in Small/Medium. My guess is they won't get anymore L/XL in.

The SD cagoule is unsuitable for sustained periods in the rain, due to being a DWR solution, versus a membrane barrier solution of some type. It also lacks ventilation: the front zip is surprisingly short, and sleeve cuffs are elastic, cannot be loosened for ventilation.
