shell jacket
Thin protective layer
A shell jacket is a lightweight outer garment designed primarily for wind and water resistance rather than insulation.
Unlike heavier coats, shell jackets provide a protective layer that blocks the elements while remaining breathable and packable: I threw a shell jacket in my bag in case it rained.
They're standard gear for hiking, running, and other outdoor activities where conditions may change.
