Wind jackets, as the name suggests, are jackets that protect against wind and not much else. They are very light and thin jackets specially made to protect athletes from wind during training. The jackets are designed for use in sports activities and are often very breathable. Sometimes with moisture-wicking lining.
Even though a wind jacket does nothing more than keep the wind out, it can make a big difference. When your muscles are working, a lot of the energy is turned into heat. In order to avoid overheating, the body sweats to cool down. But when exposed to wind, you often cool down too much and start to freeze. Especially during running and other athletic activities in the cold months. Or if you have to stand still for a moment, you can quickly get cold.
At Andersenoutdoor.com, wind jackets are available as both long-sleeved jackets and vests. The vest keeps the body free from wind while allowing for great freedom of movement with your arms. Although wind jackets are primarily meant to keep the wind out, we also have jackets that are water-resistant. You cannot expect to stay dry in heavy rain. However, in mild rain or a light shower, you will still stay dry.
