This jacket makes a great outer layer when you need just a little bit more. Packs down super small so it fits in your pack (or even a pocket!).

My go to windbreaker. Great at keeping the core warm.
Recommended in My Gear
The ultimate windbreaker. I always bring this with me on multi-pitch climbs because it packs down to the size of an apple, has a carabiner loop to be clipped to your harness, and offers an efficient way to add a layer when the wind picks up.

Usually a layer I reserve for shoulder seasons and colder. I find that just reducing wind chill is enough to keep me comfortable on the wall when wearing an insulating layer is too much.

On warmer days that you still need some wind or snow protection, nothing beats a Houdini. So small and light that you won't mind carrying it.

Perhaps the best layer ever conceived. I've used it for wind, light precipitation, as a mid layer to stay warm, to sleep in. And it packs down to the size of q baseball.

This is an absolute must have piece and has been a lifesaver on more than one occasion. From mountain summits to windy days on the SUP, everyone should own a Houdini.

Way lighter than you'd think. Keep it in the running vest for those mountain storms.

My favorite ultralight shell for colder conditions while running

You can always pack this just in case.

Featherlight, incredibly tough, and packable enough to stash in your belt. My favorite alpine wind shell for trapping heat in the roughest mountain weather
