my go to lightweight jacket for fall and spring! I have 2 colors already

5 KristinM
I am absolutely in LOVE with the color and warmth of this jacket! Just finished a Utah 10K wearing it, the weather started at 35 degrees with partial Sun and wind, and ended at 41 degrees. I wore this jacket with just a t shirt underneath, and stayed at the perfect temp the entire run!!! Omg I need more of these babies! I loved that I could fold up the hood, and all of the pockets. My last favorite detail is the hidden red buttons, as they are so cute and such a small but fun pop of color that can be hidden:)

5 JenniferJ
The fit is amazing! I had to exchange the size and it was worth the wait. Living in Washington state the weather is starting to look amazing. The jacket is very light weight and layering is not a problem. This jacket will be used for both my races coming up Beat the Bridge and Rocking Roll half marathon!

5 RachelP
I REALLY like this jacket. The material is so light for a rain jacket/wind breaker. I wouldn ’ t recommend it in heavy rain, but lighter rain yes. But it packs down so small it ’s easy to stick in your vest or just wear with the backpack straps on it so it ’s there if any wind or storms pop up.

5 JeraldY
My daughter and I both used this jacket in a 50 mile race in Montana. Thunder storms in the morning, rain and hail in the afternoon. Not waterproof but kept you warm enough in bad conditions. Especially like the backpack feature! Well designed, lightweight and even has snaps to keep jacket from flapping when unzipped

Tested out the new UL Premonition during my training in Salt Lake City and my recent Makalu expedition. Two of the best features of the jacket are its weight and packability — it is incredibly light and easy to pack into my backpack, especially when carrying a lot of gear and equipment up to higher camps. The jacket shielded me from rain, snow, and high winds at higher altitudes. It ’s highly mobile and easy to wear. Particularly love the internal long zippered pocket — perfect for storing important devices like iPhone or Garmin inReach.

5 Anya
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] This is my go- to lightweight waterproof shell. Basically like a feather in my backpack, there is no reason not to bring it. Alpine climbing, mountain biking, hustle footing. I live in the PNW and rain is almost guaranteed on every outing- got ta have this.

5 Jayrae__
I bought this in the early summer bc I was in desperate need of a new rain jacket( my old one was literally crumbling apart!). This past weekend I assisted in the rescue 7 people who were capsized in a pontoon boat. I dove into the water with phone and all in the pocket of this jacket. After the scary event ended I took my phone out of my pocket and was shocked to still see the phone screen activated! The phone still needed about 7 hours to completely dry out and let me charge it but it ’s completely fine now. Obviously this jacket isn ’ t meant to be submerged but the saving the phone of it all felt worth mentioning. This jacket is also WARM and I don ’ t feel like raindrops are still making me cold through the jacket. It ’s also a superb wind breaker. I wore it on a 5k ft hike and the wind at the top was bearable in this jacket. It ’s expensive but it WORKS.

5 Makena B.
I wear this jacket 8 month out of the year! I wear it inside as a sweatshirt and outside while biking or ski touring. It's a synthetic fill( prima loft) with a high warmth to weight ratio making it very packable. I also find that it is a bit dressier in appearance than comparable styles from other brands. The chest zipper pocket is quite big. I can fit my Iphone, keys a and a small wallet inside. The hip pockets are also deep enough that I can leave my phone in there while biking and not worry about it falling out. When it gets below 30 degrees, I switch over to my Keb Touring Down Jacket. I tend to run cold in body temperature.

5 Kori L.
I love my Keb hoody. Lightweight yet warm enough to keep as an essential layer in your pack for when the weather changes! I keep this layer on me for every season. From skinning and powder days, to spring fishing, biking and camping, this layer is with me always!

5 Amanda V.
I 've had this jacket for a couple months now; it's come along on a few great treks through the mountains and also been a great lightweight cold weather jacket on my walks to work in Boston. I recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon, in which we did an 11 mile hike with 3, 000 ft of elevation gain. That's when I really got to see the beauty of this jacket. The night before our trek it had snowed 6- 8 inches and the snow was still coming down as we were going out in the morning. It was about 28 degrees with wind chill but I knew as we descended the temps would rise to about 60 degrees. I layered up with my Singi Merino Henley as a base layer, a lightweight vest as my mid layer, the Keb Padded Hoodie as another mid layer, and then a shell as my outer layer for the precipitation that was still coming down. It did n't take long into the trek for me to start shedding layers but the Keb Padded Hoodie stayed on almost the entire time. It's lightweight and extremely breathable so even when the temps got to around 50 degrees I still found myself with this layer on. When I did decide to take it off, I only had a 9 liter pack on my back so it's packability came in extremely handy. I would highly recommend this jacket for every day use and for trekking. It's a necessity for me on any trek that requires a jacket layer.

5 Stacie
I got this as a gift. It ’s perfect for the cool mornings and running around! I love that it packs small and easy to transport if needed! It ’s soft, and fit my broader shoulders without feeling constricting! Def one of my favorite jackets this season. I ’ m 5 ’ 8/185 and the XL fits great!

[ I have enjoyed using my running jacket and have worn it more often than I originally thought I would. With it being warmer this time of year I wasn ’ t sure how much use I would get but cooler rainy days have been perfect for it! I love that it ’s lightweight and easy to pack or bring along with me. The fabric is breathable and comfortable without feeling hot and sticky. I wasn ’ t sure how it would be without a liner but it has been comfortable. I can see myself continuing to use it in similar conditions, cooler weather with light rain, early fall and spring as the seasons change. The color is a little brighter than I typically choose but it is fun! It is a good staple to have in my closet.

5 Sarah
[ This is a perfect lightweight jacket. It ’s great for in between seasons when it ’s chilly in the morning and then you warm up as you run. Because it ’s truly packable, I ’ m able to take it off and easily fit it in my waist bag. The fabric is soft and breathable as well. I love the hot pink color! This is a very high quality and practical jacket.

5 Momoffour
[ The Canopy Packable Jacket is a fantastic athletic jacket for physical activity and a busy lifestyle. The fabric is very lightweight yet sturdy enough to block out unwanted wind and light rain without feeling overheated. The elastic that is built into the front of the hood provides a visor that stays nicely in place while in motion, keeping unwanted raindrops from hitting your face. The lightness of the jacket makes it perfect for throwing in a bag while out and about. I appreciate that the material unwrinkled quite quickly after being rolled up and stored in a backpack. While the bright magenta is easy to see in dim light, I do wish this jacket came in more muted or earthy tones as it is such a great jacket to bring when you need to travel light and have the possibility of rain. Overall, I am super thrilled with the quality and usefulness of this canopy jacket and will be taking it with me on many adventures.

[ I really enjoy this jacket. Very lightweight, high quality, comfortable fit. Basically a raincoat that feels more like a hoodie. It ’s a win.

5 Dreamwriter
[ This product was great! It ’s extremely light weight but not in a weird or flimsy way. It ’s perfect for a run on a cool autumn day when you want something to cover up with but aren ’ t yet ready to pull out your sweaters and heavier clothes. Also, just love how the pockets are so durable within which you can leave your phone, set of keys and a card with the peace of mind.

5 Erin
[ This jacket PS so light and comfortable, it barely feels like you have anything on. I ’ ve been using it multiple times a week for these summer rainy days. It repels water and dries fast. It ’s perfect for the grocery store to throw on and keep warm without feeling too warm. The fit is perfect. It ’s pretty loose but in a slim way and it ’s what makes it comfortable and easy to throw on with no fuss. The material is great too. The fabric repels water but is somehow still very soft. I love the zipper pockets so I don ’ t need to worry about anything I carry falling out on a jog or run. It ’s great. I wouldn ’ t change anything about it honestly!

5 Ladyshockley
[ This jacket is pretty much everything you want it to be for a running coat or rain coat or everyday wear coat!:) It is so thin, lightweight and the material is very stretchy. I love that it's made of 75% recycled material and is also waterproof. Cool! My favorites about this coat are in the details though!! The sleeves have elastic so you can pull them up your arms and they stay. The zipper pulls all have a little extender on them for convenient use and there is an elastic hook to hang the coat by. Probably my favorite detail is the design of the hood pulls. You can pull your hood tight and lock it into place with a stopper. But even more awesome, the stopper is on a loop with a little blocking washer so your strings wo n't get lost in the holes of the hood during wear or washing. Amazing design!!! The only thing I would mention here is that I am a woman and this is a mens coat so the design is very straight; no room for hips at all- so I would suggest getting a womens style coat if you are at all curvy. For me I just tuck it under. Also for a men's small to fit me perfect makes me think it may run a bit small( as I think most Nike items do). Overall, highly recommend.

5 SteelersFan
[ I love the feeling of this jacket. It's soft and comfortable. It's unlike any jacket I 've had in the past and is very trendy. I travel a lot for work and carry a heavy back pack, I replaced my small umbrella with this jacket. It rolls up pretty small and is a lot lighter than the umbrella, which helps with reducing weight of having to lug around through my travels. The stylish look combined with the light weight stretchy feel makes this jacket stand alone in my collection that I 'll resort to for many occasions and not just for a cloudy rainy day. It's also not like any other typical rain coats, this one does n't make you feel like you 're wearing a plastic bag and make you all sweaty. So for the comfort, the feel and purpose, I do love this jacket and would definitely recommend.

[ Great jacket. I have put it to the test and it has held up with no leaks. However, it does run a bit larger on size. I highly recommend this jacket!

[ Packing for travel, you want a jacket that can handle the cold, wind, and rain yet still fit in your travel bag using minimal space. Marmot solved all that with this jacket. I love my jacket! With both inside& outside pockets and even a hood that actually rides well on your head, everyone should take a look at this jacket before spending your money.

[ This jacket is everything i payed for! Windproof and waterproof, it is the lightweight champion of all jackets. Easy to pack everywhere with great venting features and overall comfort. Stylistically impecable also! Check me it out!

[ It ’s unnoticeable weight makes it a perfect item to leave in my bag when I commute to work for surprise showers and and a great to keep in a bag for hikes just in case The durability isn ’ t compromised either. After getting to the top of camels hump in northern VT, it started raining shorty after. Parts of this meant we were scrambling down rocks in a down pour. Theres 0 damage to the jacket!

[[ Employee of marmot] Bought this jacket for a summer trip full of hiking and urban exploring across Norway. This jacket held up and kept me dry through everything that we encountered-- misty, windy, foggy, rainy-- and it fit great layered over a fleece on the colder days. When the pace picked up or we were going uphill, the pit- zips were great additions to help keep me comfortable and prevent overheating. It also packs down super small so it was easy to bring along on every excursion in a daypack just in case it started to rain.

[ Got this jacket for a mid April snowboarding trip and was perfect. Couldn ’ t feel the wind at all and was warm with layers underneath. Great to hike in as well!

[ This jacket came all the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro! With so many various climate regions on the mountain it was a perfect jacket to have! Best feature: The two- way zip. I use it all the time

5 Emypocu
[ This jacket is of excellent quality. If you want to keep water out and are going to be in cooler temps I highly recommend it. I am using year- round for cost saving with layers or not. If I had the means I would use this only for colder temperatures which I think is what it was designed for.

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] As usual the sizing is spot on with this Mountain Hardware jacket. This is a great lighter down jacket. Many down jackets with smother you with heat no matter how light they are, but this one does not do that. I am going top use this for winter golf as a layering piece. I normally wear a medium and this one I ordered a large so I can put a fleece underneath and still swing a golf club- this one is spot on. find a layer that can work for golf and keep you warm is a rare find. This one is super versatile.

Received this coat as a gift. I have other name brand jackets and this one fits right in as far as quality. It looks and fits great. It has only been one month but so far very happy with this coat.

5 NorthBay
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] I have been using multiple Kor products for a while and added this one to my closet recently. It has many uses but what I use it for is early morning hikes and rides. It adds just enough warmth over a base layer to reduce the bite of morning chill. The fabric is crazy stretchy and soft, and while I have n't been rough on this one, my insulated Kor Strata is a ski layer I have hammered all season with no issue. This thing is crazy packable too so it makes it easy to shove into a pocket or my lumbar pack.

5 SmittyNH
Perfect ascent shell to dump heat while breaking wind. I wear this over a 250gram smartwool baselayer while ascending mountains in 25- 45 degree weather.

5 GeorgeB
There's a reason you see so many really favorable reviews of this jacket. It checks all the boxes. Packable, super light, blocks the wind, repels mist or light rain and looks great. Pull it out of your kit at a windy summit or the top of a pitch. If you are slim and athletic, it fits true to your usual size. I have a paunchy `` dad bod '', so I had to go up one size for midriff room. You wo n't have to, though. I also have the lined hoody version of this garment, and like it equally for belaying or just spectating at the base of the crag.

I 'm so happy with this windbreaker! It's super lightweight but really does cut down on the wind. The fit is very flattering. And more importantly, it has hand pockets! That may not seem like a big deal, but I 've been disappointed with numerous other lightweight windbreakers on the market that do n't have hand pockets. The pockets are zippered too. This will be a versatile jacket to throw in my bag for spring, summer, and fall. I can see myself using it for hiking, biking, and around town.

5 Andrew P
As always OR makes the best gear. The fit is awesome and looks great. Be aware it is a very light jacket, lighter than I was expecting. But a perfect running jacket, or for a thin layer on a hike

5 ItsJ253
This ultra light weight jacket does it all! I use it for early morning summer/fall commutes, runs, field work, and sun protection even in hot weather. Surprisingly warm and wind resistant for the super thin fabric, almost paper weight, yet breathable. The easiest layer to throw in a purse or bag. I had doubts when I received it but it ’s exceeded any expectations. Two thumbs up!

5 Krista K
I love this jacket! It is so lightweight and packable but great for blocking the wind and light rain.

Was looking for a high- visibility running jacket similar to the Patagonia Houdini Air( wind resistance+ breathability). I have both the regular Houdini( size L) and Houdini Air( M). Keeping this in M. FIT: I 'm 5'1, 150 lbs, 34DD, round belly. With a Smartwool 250 baselayer or a thin long- sleeved cotton t, fit is close to the body, but not tight( Houdinis run much slimmer); pretty forgiving of my belly:) Perfect length for me, falling around mid- hip; Houdinis are longer, falling below my butt. FEEL/FUNCTION: I 've worn this for multiple runs( incl. light rain, strong wind). This feels somewhere in- between the Houdinis in terms of wind- blocking and breathability. V. light rain beaded on the surface of the jacket, but left a mark when smushed into the fabric. Material is a matte, slightly stretchy, more fabric- y( vs. plastic- y) material- like a slightly thicker/heavier Air. Hood fits over thick pony- tail securely when fully zipped, and stays in strong wind. Doubles as a running and casual jacket better than the Houdinis due to a more forgiving fit around the mid- section( for looser- fitting street clothes), shorter length( more flattering for my short stature), and zippered side pockets. Packs down small enough for an upcoming 2. 5 week trip to Europe( 24L bag). COLOR: Azalea appears neon coral in the pictures, which is what originally attracted me. Unfortunately, it actually is not neon at all, and is more like a salmon pink that leans more pink than orange. It is slightly see- through. LOVE the green( Grove) colorway- something about the color+ matte fabric texture+ matching zippers makes it look SO smooth and rich and clean. Did not intend to get this color, but decided to try( and keep!) it based on the( accurate) pictures.

I love this coat. It is beautiful, warm, and exactly what I was looking for. I have multiple Fjallraven coats, and this is the only one I have had to size down in( XS instead of a S), as it does run pretty large.

5 Malory
You can immediately feel the quality craftsmanship in this piece as soon as you touch it. When in bitter conditions and needing to hunker down, the inner sections cover my mouth and nose and are soft against my face. For a synthetic piece, I was impressed by how much the insulation reminded me of down. It ’s light and warmed up quickly within moments of me having it on. The massive interior drop pockets are awesome and large enough to effortlessly stash my bulky gloves. The hand pockets are deep, so I don ’ t have to worry about fitting my whole hand inside to warm up if I forget gloves. The stretchy wrist cuffs completely seal out drafts, yet I barely notice they are there. This is my preferred jacket on wet winter days.

5 turbodaisy
This coat is great! It ’s long enough to cover your behind, fairly light- weight but nice and warm. Happy I had it on a recent vacation to Europe during the holidays

I 'm a big jacket person, I have one for just about every weather situation and this is my go to in the spring and summer. It's really effective at blocking wind while I 'm biking, I 'll layer a fleece if it's chilly. During the summer it's the perfect weight for cool nights and keeping bugs off of you without overheating, it has light water resistance so this is definitely not a `` rain jacket '' but it does dry super fast if it gets wet. It packs down very small and also the perfect travel companion.

5 Dean S.
Material is flexible and light, breathes and cuts the wind. I 'm 6- foot- 2 and 160 pounds, and glad I got the XL size, even though the sizer suggested L.

5 John D
Very good jacket, fit my requirements across the board. Fabrics are much softer than I expected for the heavy duty G1000, but still feels very rugged. The hood maintains a very good shape- keeps the rain off my face but provides good visibility. Zipper nice and strong. Adjustability provides a good fit. Warmer than I expected for a light jacket. Overall a great product!

5 Oregon C
I purchased one of these in Copenhagen 4 years ago, and have worn it on the beach in Oregon at least 500 times. There are no signs of fraying, material is still strong, zippers work great. If it rains, or excess wind demands it, the hood fits well and tightens with clever elastic locking adjusters. The length is just right for me, not too long like some. Chest pocket is perfect for keeping my wallet/ID. I have collected rocks over the years and just put them in the side pocket, and they are still strong. Light weight but excellent in windy conditions. I do n't need to replace it but after 4 years it's looking a bit faded so I ordered another one in a different color and it's on the way. Expect the new one is the same great jacket. Thank you Fjall Raven. In my entire life I do n't think I 've worn a single jacket so much, and I 've never taken the time to go online and praise a piece of clothing but this deserves that.

This jacket is very comfortable and has enough room to add layers and still allow mobility. It stays in my go to day pack full time. Went to New Zraland with me for more than 3 weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions For Lightweight Packable Jacket

When selecting a lightweight packable jacket, consider features such as water resistance or waterproofing to protect against rain and moisture. Look for breathable materials that allow for airflow, ensuring comfort during physical activities. Additionally, check for packability, which allows the jacket to be easily folded and stored in a small space, making it convenient for travel. Adjustable elements like hoods and cuffs can also enhance fit and functionality.

To determine the right size for a lightweight packable jacket, start by measuring your chest, waist, and hips to find your body measurements. Consult the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer, as sizes can vary between brands. Consider the intended use of the jacket; if you plan to layer it over other clothing, you may want to choose a size up for added comfort. Additionally, pay attention to the fit type, such as regular or slim, to ensure it meets your preferences.

Lightweight packable jackets are typically made from materials such as nylon, polyester, or a blend of synthetic fabrics. These materials are chosen for their durability, water resistance, and ability to compress easily for convenient storage. Many jackets also feature breathable membranes or coatings to enhance comfort during physical activities. Additionally, some designs may incorporate lightweight insulation for added warmth without bulk.

Lightweight packable jackets are designed to provide versatility and convenience, making them suitable for various weather conditions, particularly mild to moderate climates. They often feature water-resistant materials, which can help protect against light rain and wind. However, they may not offer the same level of insulation or protection as heavier jackets in extreme weather conditions. It is important to consider the specific features of the jacket to determine its suitability for your intended use.

Lightweight packable jackets are ideal for a variety of outdoor activities, including running, hiking, and traveling. Their compact design makes them easy to carry, allowing you to stay prepared for changing weather conditions without the bulk. These jackets often feature water-resistant materials, making them suitable for light rain or wind protection. Additionally, they can be layered over other clothing for added warmth during cooler temperatures.

Lightweight packable jackets are designed to be portable and convenient, often using materials that balance weight and durability. While many are made from water-resistant or weatherproof fabrics, their durability can vary based on the specific materials and construction techniques used. Generally, these jackets are suitable for casual wear and light outdoor activities, but they may not withstand heavy use or extreme conditions as well as more robust outerwear options. It's important to consider the intended use and care instructions to maintain their longevity.

Choosing a packable jacket offers several advantages over a regular jacket. These jackets are designed to be lightweight and easily compressible, making them convenient for travel and outdoor activities where space is limited. They often feature water-resistant or weather-resistant materials, providing protection against the elements without the bulk of traditional jackets. Additionally, their versatility allows for easy storage in a backpack or luggage, making them ideal for unpredictable weather conditions.

Lightweight packable jackets are designed primarily for convenience and portability, making them ideal for layering. While they may offer some insulation, their primary function is to provide protection against wind and light rain rather than significant warmth. For colder temperatures, it is often beneficial to wear them over warmer layers to enhance overall warmth and comfort.

Lightweight packable jackets come in various styles suitable for different occasions. For outdoor activities, you can find options designed for running or hiking, often featuring water-resistant materials and breathable fabrics. Casual styles are available for everyday wear, providing comfort and versatility, while travel-friendly designs focus on compactness and ease of packing. Additionally, some jackets may include features like hoods or adjustable elements to enhance functionality for specific weather conditions.

To properly store a lightweight packable jacket, first ensure it is clean and completely dry to prevent mildew or odors. Fold the jacket neatly and pack it into its own pocket or pouch if it has one, as this helps maintain its shape and makes it easy to store. Keep the packed jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the fabric and maintain its performance features. Avoid storing it in damp or humid areas to prolong its lifespan.
