We created the Breakwind Ultralight Windbreaker to be one of the lightest and most packable layers in your kit. Specifically made for high output activities. It stows into its own chest pocket, disappearing in your pack until the wind picks up or the drizzle starts and you realize it was the smartest thing you brought.
Designed for backpackers, trail runners, climbers, and day hikers, this is a true do-it-all shell. The fitted hood, thumbhole loops, and three zippered pockets give you real on-trail functionality, while the laser perforated back panel and underarms keep the airflow moving when you do.
It offers protection from wind and light rain without ever weighing you down. Part of our premium Venture Far Series, the Breakwind pairs elevated materials and trims with ounce-counting performance so you will reach for it season after season.

An Ultralight Jacket That's Actually Breathable
I tried this jacket out by taking it out on a cool night run. Normally, wearing a jacket on any sort of run would have me sweating up a storm immediately. Not this one. I was actually shocked when I had already ran a mile and wasn't drenched in sweat. This jacket kept me as close to my ideal temp as possible and if you ever need to ditch it, it packs up in a very compact package.

Truly Ultralight & Warm
This has been my go-to jacket on windy days or early morning / late evening runs, rides, and walks. The jacket packs incredibly small (can easily fit into my running waist belt) and is lightweight and fits great. Also just a really nice looking jacket for meeting friends out on a crispy evening. Good amount of stretch as well.

This Is A Cool & Unique Jacket
I was annoyed with the Patagonia Houdini although it worked well. It didn't have pockets and was so crinkly and shiny that when I saw that KETL made a version of the same kind of super light windbreaker, I was happy to give it a try. And this is the best one I've tried yet in this niche category.
