windbreaker

A windbreaker is a lightweight jacket designed to resist wind and light rain.

The fabric is typically thin, synthetic, and uninsulated—meant for mild conditions rather than cold weather.

She packed a windbreaker for the hike.

The term is sometimes capitalized as a trademark, though generic use dominates.
