Whether running, hiking, pedaling, or simply on the go, a reliable windbreaker is an essential for every travel kit. Lightweight, breathable, and built to block the breeze, it’s the layer we reach for when the weather shifts, but the adventure doesn’t stop. Outdoor Research offers three exceptional windbreakers ideal for any outdoor adventure: the Shadow Wind Hoodie, the Deviator Wind Jacket, and the Astroman Air Sun Hoodie.
Shadow Wind Hoodie
Breathable Lightweight Wind Protection with Movement Mirroring Stretch
The Shadow Wind Hoodie is a category game-changer — a 5-ounce protective layer built to withstand gusty conditions and light moisture during active use on trail or in the alpine.
Made with bluesign® approved materials and featuring movement-mirroring stretch, this hoodie is breathable yet highly wind-resistant, making it the perfect outer layer for trail runs, backcountry touring, and windy beach walks.
It provides light water resistance, features a hood that stows away into the jacket’s collar when not in use, and zippered pockets for essentials. It also conveniently packs up small, using its zippered chest pocket as a stuff sack.
The ideal wind-blocking layer for active use on windy ridgelines, breezy evening runs, or long days on the skin track, the Shadow Wind Hoodie is the perfect lightweight addition to any pack.

Deviator Wind Jacket
Hybrid-Mapped Construction for Superior Breathability and Wind Protection
The Deviator Wind Jacket features a hybrid-mapped construction that prioritizes weather protection at the front of the body, shoulders, and collar, while maintaining breathability at the back and underarms. This creates the perfect layer for trail running, mountain biking, or any other high-tempo outdoor activity.
Built with ultralight, wind-resistant, and water-resistant 20D stretch woven fabric at the front body, shoulders, and collar, and a highly breathable, perforated stretch plain weave at the back and underarms, the Deviator Wind Jacket ensures that you stay protected from wind and light rain while maintaining optimal ventilation and comfort.
Movement-mirroring stretch delivers a full range of motion, and zip chest and hand pockets keep keys, credit cards, phones, and gels nearby. Reflective logos enhance visibility in low-light conditions, and the jacket conveniently packs into its left-hand pocket, doubling as a stuff sack for easy portability.
