Windbreaker Jacket – Weighs So Little You Stop Deciding Whether to Bring It

A waterproof jacket built at minimum weight, closing with a full-length zip and folding down into a pouch of its own. The hood pulls in on a cord and the cuffs finish on elastic. Three colors, sized S through 2XL.

Why choose an ultralight windbreaker?

Rain gear only counts on the days it is actually with you, and weight is what settles that. Under a certain weight the decision stops being a decision and the jacket just lives in the bag. Everything about this one is built around keeping it there.

• Barely registers in a bag — the weight is low enough that you stop noticing the jacket is packed.
• Full-length zipper — open it right down when the shower passes and the wind is warm.
• Sealed outer face — rain beads and runs off rather than soaking in.
• Cord-adjusted hood — cinch it around your face so a gust does not take it off.
• Elastic wrist finish — the cuffs close down without hardware or tabs.

A jacket you carry all summer and are glad about twice.

It folds into its own small pouch, which is the state it spends most of its life in. After a soaking, hang it open until it is dry before folding it away again. Keep it out of the dryer; heat is hard on a waterproof face.
