Windbreaker jacket women

Women's windbreakers: protect yourself from the wind

Women's windbreaker jackets are an ideal choice when you need shelter from the wind and light rain of spring, summer and autumn. They offer strong and lightweight protection against the howling wind of the mountains. You focus on enjoying the outdoors, and we'll take care of sheltering you from the wind. Women's windbreakers are perfect as a light and packable protection. They can easily be stored as a light jacket in your backpack, or even in a purse.

A good premium windbreaker jacket for women has the following features:

• A hood: When the wind howls, you don't want it freezing your ears or ruining your hair. Put your hood on and enjoy the protection.

• Several pockets: After all, some items need to stay close-by, right? Take advantage of strategically placed pockets on your coat to keep small things with you without making things too bulky.

• A full or half-zip: Different zip options allow you to take it off easily, or simply let it breathe a little.

• A light rain protection: The water-resistant fabric (like the ones you'll find in our waterproof jacket for women) will keep you dry in a drizzle.

Please note that windbreaker jackets aren't enough when the rain starts pouring or the temperatures take a dip. That's when it's time to bring out your Omni-Tech™ women's waterproof jacket, your thick, warm and quilted women's puffer jacket, or your women's 3-in-1 jacket. Those jackets are designed to repel more water, provide more warmth, or both.

What makes our windbreakers so good?

The secret to our windbreakers (aside from their versatility and high-quality materials like nylon) is our patented technology for wind protection: Omni-Wind™ Block. It uses an ultra-lightweight and breathable membrane to keep you cool, while its outer surface blocks wind to prevent you from getting chilly. It also has a level 1 "drizzle" rating in terms of waterproofness, allowing you to stay dry whenever there's some slight drizzle. Omni-Wind™ Block turns a basic windbreaker into a wind-resistant, waterproof, and breathable jacket.

Additionally, most of our windbreaker jackets for women have an added stain-repellent technology. Called Omni-Shield™, this technology offers long-lasting resistance against water and stain absorption, so you and your jacket can stay dry and clean for longer.

Fashionable windbreakers—take shelter in style

Our windbreakers are technically designed to act as protection against the wind, but that should never stand in the way of you dressing fashionably on your adventures. We have designed a range of stylish and urban windbreaker jackets for women. They will seamlessly accompany you from the outdoors to the city centre. You will also find a few stylish details on our women's windbreaker jackets such as a coloured zipper or an elastic adjustable hem.

Take a quick look at the following guide to our three windbreaker styles:

• The classic "sporty" windbreaker: It looks flashy and it's geared up for the outdoors. These are very light and often have high breathability and a stowaway pocket or hood. Goes well with timeless, elegant colours like black and white, or with bold colours like pink and electric blue.

• The "all-round" windbreaker jacket: It's fit to go anywhere. It has a sober design and technical features, perfect for neutral hues like grey.

• The "urban" windbreaker: It often has a special and trendy cut, such as a long cut coat or a short cropped silhouette. Make sure to choose earthy colours like camel or burgundy to keep a sense of calm in the middle of a busy city, or light and cheerful colours like light burgundy or pastel pink for a touch of subtle femininity.

Our windbreaker jackets also have several practical pockets for you to store your things in. Yes, our windbreakers combine technical features and style, whether you choose a more sober look or a colourful style.
