windcheaters
Lightweight protective jackets
Windcheaters is the British term for lightweight jackets designed to block wind—what Americans call windbreakers.
The word suggests practical outerwear for blustery conditions rather than heavy cold: Pack a windcheater for the coastal walk.
The singular windcheater refers to one such jacket.
