BBC Packable Windshirt

 

As a recent addition to the lineup, the Packable Full Zip Windshirt was an instant favorite. It’s the ideal layering piece for weather that won’t make up it’s mind. The super soft fabric in black, coyote, or olive comes completely windproof and water resistant with a DWR finish. It’s stylish, practical, and performs well.

This lightweight garment has to look of a jacket but feels like a light shirt, due in no small part to its silky 100% polyester construction. It has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) surface finish; partially due to a surface coating, and partially due to the material and weave of the surface layer, I found that light to medium sprinkles shrugged right off. Better yet, that weave stopped medium to strong gusts of wind dead. I was pretty impressed with that, especially given how lightweight it was.

As the name suggests: when not in use, you can pack the Windshirt down into it’s built-in pocket on the back. It’s no bigger than a waterbottle, and weighs just over a pound.
