Everyone needs one of these jackets!

Ranked #51 - Women's Windshirts and Jackets

I've had this jacket for a year, and I can't believe how much I have used it. It is so lightweight and packs up so tiny that I take it with me almost everywhere. I carry it with me when running if there's a chance of rain. I take it on hikes in case it gets windy, chilly, or I just need an extra layer. It blocks moderate wind, light rain, and adds a little warmth when needed. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's kind of expensive for such a lightweight jacket.
