Windbreaker

A windbreaker is the ultimate jacket for outdoor activities. If you are looking for a jacket that is lightweight, but also provides all the protection you need against the weather circumstances you may face in our unpredictable climate, a windbreaker is a must-have. Airforce offers various windbreakers for men and women of all ages. Each of them is comfortable, stylish and durable.

What Exactly Is a Windbreaker?

In its most basic form, a windbreaker is a jacket made to protect you against the wind. All Airforce summer jackets and winter jackets are made out of windproof fabrics, so technically, every jacket from our online store would do as a windbreaker. However, most people looking for a windbreaker are looking for a very specific type of jacket: a lightweight outdoor jacket they can wear during activities that take place outside. As a result, windbreakers have become highly popular among hikers, cyclists, campers, golfers, and yachtsmen.

A jacket to wear during such activities has to meet a number of requirements. First off, a windbreaker should be made out of fabrics that can take a hit. Airforce has got you covered, because all our jackets are made out of high-quality fabrics that are made to last for years. Also, a windbreaker should be lightweight, and easy to stow away once the weather is too hot to keep wearing your jacket. Equally important is the fact that your windbreaker should not hinder any movement you make while hiking, cycling or working out.

Of course, a jacket you wear during outdoor activities should also be breathable. That means that the jacket is made out of fabrics that let out excess body heat, whilst also allowing cool air to pass through in order to keep you from getting too hot and sweaty. All of these qualities matter to us at Airforce. Anyone looking for a comfortable, flexible jacket made out of fabrics that will last long, and that will look stylish all the while, has come to the right place.

Softshell Jackets Are Ideal Windbreakers

Softshell jackets and windbreakers are terms that are often used for similar types of jackets. There is a good reason for this: although there technically are minor differences, these types of jackets are frequently used for similar situations. The most important difference is that “real” windbreakers are typically made out of 100 percent polyester or nylon, while softshell jackets tend to contain a small percentage of elastane. Due to the stretchy nature of those elastic fibres, softshell jackets tend to be the most comfortable option if you are looking for a windproof jacket . Softshell jackets also tend to be more breathable than traditional windbreakers.

Airforce offers a large selection of softshell windbreakers to protect you against the wind and short rain showers during spring and summer – and often a majority of the autumn as well. After all, all our softshell jackets are made out of windproof and water-repellent fabrics. They are available in various colours and designs. Our softshell jackets for men and boys tend to have a straight fit, while most of our softshell jackets for women and girls are slightly waisted. We offer hooded jackets made out of softshell fabrics, but also softshell jackets without a hood.

Are you afraid that a softshell jacket might be too hot for the summer months? Then make sure to check out our Softshell Bodywarmers as well. These gilets sport designs that look a lot like our softshell jackets, but as sleeveless jackets instead. Such gilets are especially ideal if you have to work outside and need your arms to have a maximum range of motion on a hot day.

Do Windbreakers for the Winter Months Exist?

When people talk about windbreakers, they are usually talking about summer jackets. And yet, there are windproof jackets that are specially designed for colder areas. Puffer jackets may just be the most common examples of such windproof jackets. These jackets have originally been designed to protect mountaineers against the cold. Not unlike the windbreakers you wear during the summer months, puffer jackets are true outdoor jackets. Most of our puffer jackets have lightweight linings made out of synthetic fabrics. These will keep the wind and the cold on the outside of your jacket, but they also retain your body heat.

Other jackets with similar properties are just as suited as windbreakers for the winter months. Nearly all our winter jackets for women and men are padded jackets . So you could also consider wearing a parka or a different type of padded jacket if you don’t want to stay cooped up inside during the winter months. Since these jackets are made out of thicker fabrics than the windbreakers you wear during the rest of the year, they are nice and warm.

However, we have also given ample attention to comfort while designing Airforce jackets. That is why they provide you with the exact support you need for your active lifestyle.
