It should get pretty small and if it doesn't come with a suitable stuff sack, you can get an excellent one from granite gear for about six bucks. 25 psi= 25 pounds per square inch. It's a pressure rating. 25 is considered "fully waterproof". Ks of waterproofing is the number of millimeters of rainfall that the jacket could take in a 24 hour period before soaking through. The jackets that are selling for $100 are the '09 model. The discounted ones (discontinued colors) are all '08. Not much difference except color and $30.
