Women's windbreakers – Lightweight protection against wind

Women's windbreakers – Lightweight, packable and effective

Windbreakers are lightweight, packable garments that protect against 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 windbreaker weighs next to nothing, but can make the difference between a cold and a comfortable trip.

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

When do you need a windbreaker?

The windbreaker 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 has good ventilation – many feature mesh details or open pockets for extra airflow.

Layering is the key

For conditions in northern Norway, layering is the smartest approach. A base layer in wool or technical synthetic next to the skin, 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.
