Men's Windbreakers & Windcheaters
32The windbreaker, the jacket for all seasons
Ideal for protection against fickle weather, the windbreaker is an essential jacket for all seasons. Wear it in summer or winter to stay protected from the coldest squalls. When temperatures remain fairly high, slip your windbreaker over a T-shirt, Bermuda shorts and a pair of sporty moccasins, ideal for strolling along the seafront. If drops are likely to appear, pack a waterproof windbreaker in your rucksack to cover all eventualities. This type of windbreaker can be short or longer, like a waxed coat, sometimes also called a marine windbreaker. There's also the slip-on windbreaker, a type of jacket with a sporty, streetwear look. Often equipped with a hood and belly pocket, this lined windbreaker is slipped on over the head. The windbreaker can also be worn in winter when lined with fleece, or over a thick knit sweater. Finally, windbreakers can also be worn with a man's suit, when the wind is blowing but it's not cold enough to put on an overcoat. A lightweight, practical coat par excellence, this little jacket is sure to protect you from gusts of wind!
