windbreakers

Lightweight weather jackets

Windbreakers are lightweight jackets designed to resist wind and light rain.

The fabric is typically nylon or polyester, unlined or thinly lined, meant for mild conditions rather than serious cold: I grabbed a windbreaker for the evening walk.

The name describes the function—breaking the wind's chill.

British English prefers windcheater.
