Women's windproof jackets – lightweight protection against the wind

Women's windproof jackets – lightweight, packable and effective

Windproof jackets are light, packable garments that protect against the wind without making you feel clammy. They are ideal for running, cycling, light mountain hikes and as an extra layer in your pack when the weather turns. A good windproof jacket weighs next to nothing, yet can make the difference between a cold and a cool trip.

At Jobb og Fritid you will find windproof jackets for women. Many models feature DWR treatment that also repels light rain showers.

When do you need a windproof jacket?

A windproof jacket is the perfect garment for dry, windy days. It is also valuable in your pack as a backup when you do not want to carry a heavier shell jacket. Choose a model that is easy to pack down and that offers good ventilation – many have mesh details or open pockets for extra airflow.

Layering is the key

For conditions in northern Norway, layering is the smartest approach. Next to the skin, a baselayer in wool or technical synthetic; a mid-layer for warmth; and an outer layer to protect against the elements. With the right combination you can adjust your temperature to suit your activity and conditions without changing your entire wardrobe.
