All About Men's Windbreakers

The weather is so changeable in spring and autumn that it is only sometimes possible to guess what clothes to choose. Leaving the house on a warm sunny morning in a shirt or a thin sweater, you can be caught off by cold wind or rain in the afternoon. In such a situation, a windbreaker will help you – this thin jacket takes up little space when folded but is quite capable of protecting you from bad weather. And if you like hiking in the mountains, then a good windbreaker is a general necessity.

Let's find out in more detail what windbreakers are and how to wear them.

Species, Fabrics

Windbreakers can be both sporty and classic, depending on the purpose. Accordingly, they will differ in material, cut, accessories, and presence or absence of lining.

Vertovka

Sporty

Sports windbreakers are characterized by very bright colors, an abundance of laces, drawstrings, and additional accessories. As a rule, seams and zippers are specially treated to prevent water ingress.

The thinnest sports windbreakers have no lining and are made of waterproof and windproof fabrics. They are intended for athletes or those who like hiking or cycling. The most important criteria are compactness, lightness, and waterproofness. Such jackets do not warm at all. They are worn in the summer or over thermal clothing in colder seasons.

Another type of sports windbreaker is a membrane one. Its purpose is to draw heat and moisture away from the body under intense stressб not allowing rain and cold inside. Membrane fabrics are mainly used for sports, mountain, and ski equipment. They are pretty expensive but fully justify their price. If you are a fan of running in any weather, such a windbreaker will not hurt you.

City

Windbreakers for the city are also distinguished by a huge variety of styles but don’t have such enhanced protective qualities as sports ones. This is usually just a light jacket designed to protect the wearer from wind and cold. The most common styles are:

  • Classics. A strict straight cut, slightly below the buttocks, in classic restrained colors. Such a windbreaker can be without a hood or with a thin hood hidden in a pocket on the collar. It goes well with casual clothes.
  • Sports cut. Very light or with a warm lining, shortened, sometimes with a drawstring at the bottom. It can have a hood and a large zipper. Colors are range from classic to bright, for example, this bright red jacket from Pierre Cardin.
  • Windbreaker-bomber. It will definitely appeal to motorists with a free cut, shortened, without a hood. The bomber model is characterized by finishing the bottom and cuffs with wide-knitted elastics. Sometimes the neckline is treated with the same elastic.
  • Anorak windbreaker. Long, straight, with a hood, this jacket does not fasten from top to bottom – only about the middle of the chest. Put it on over the head.
  • Parka. Such a windbreaker is good in late autumn or early spring, and it can reach knee length: hood, large patch pockets, and drawstrings at the waist and bottom.

How To Choose A Windbreaker?

First, decide on the size and purpose of the jacket. It will be easier for you to choose the suitable model. For not to make a mistake with the size, focus on the measurements of the chest and waist, and, of course, it is advisable to try the item on before buying.

Choose a shortened, roomy jacket that will not restrict movement for active pastime. If you need a windbreaker to go to work in the office, choose classic options. Remember that a chosen model should be slightly longer than the suit jacket. Dark windbreakers of a classic cut are perfectly combined with everyday clothes in the style of business casual. This dark blue windbreaker from Pierre Cardin perfectly combines impeccable style and sporty functionality.

Rules Of Care

Usually, the manufacturer indicates all care requirements on the fabric tag inside the jacket. But we will still tell you simple secrets that will help preserve the appearance and properties of a windbreaker:

  • Washing. In a delicate mode, either by hand or in the washing machine, at a temperature not higher than 40°. It is better to turn off the spin or set it to the minimum. Membrane jackets are washed exclusively with unique means. Ordinary powders and gels clog the openings of the membrane.
  • Drying. In a well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight. Dry windbreakers hanging on broad shoulders.
  • Ironing machine. Sports windbreakers with special impregnation or membrane fabrics cannot be ironed. But urban ones, made of ordinary materials, can be ironed at a minimum temperature or steamed if necessary.
