Houdini Air Jacket - Women's

Description

Why We Like The Houdini Air Jacket

Are you tired of the constant dilemma faced by runners when it comes to choosing the right layers for their run? Either you dress light and risk getting cold and wet, or you dress for protection and end up feeling trapped and sweaty in your own clothes. Thankfully, with the Patagonia Houdini Air Jacket, you don't have to compromise anymore.

This ultralight running jacket strikes the perfect balance between weather-resistance and breathability, making it the ultimate choice for runners. It falls between the more robust wind-resistance of the Patagonia Houdini jacket and the featherweight breathability of the Airshed pullover, offering the best of both worlds.

Just like its predecessor, the Houdini Air is incredibly lightweight and packable. You can easily fit it into its own chest pocket or attach it to your running pack, making it incredibly convenient. But this updated version features a softer and more air-permeable fabric, ensuring enhanced next-to-skin comfort and regulating your temperature with cooling airflow. Say goodbye to constantly zipping and unzipping your jacket when you start to heat up.

The Houdini Air is still wind-resistant, protecting you from strong headwinds in alpine environments. However, it also allows enough air to flow through to keep you cool during intense mountain trail runs. Additionally, it boasts a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that repels light rain, so you won't end up soaked when you encounter unexpected showers.
