In this article and videos we will discuss what we look for in a Lightweight Wind Jacket, talk about a few of the brands of Wind Jackets that we stock, and follow that up with our selection of the Top 5 Wind Jackets.
There are numerous Gear Of The Year, Editors Choice awards, and “Best of” or “Top” articles on the Internet. There are also numerous sources of reviews for Wind Jackets. ProLite Gear has been selling lightweight wind jackets since 2003. During that time we have logged a great deal of time in the field with the various offerings in the market.
We conducted Breathability, Wind Resistance, and Water Resistance performance tests on the Patagonia Houdini, Rab Cirrus Wind Top, Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer, Montbell Tachyon, Arc’Teryx Squamish Hoody, and Montane GL Slipstream Wind Jackets.
Based on that experience, here is our current selection of the Best Lightweight Wind Jackets, along with product reviews of the top Wind Jackets we tested.
