Stash and forget the Ultimate Direction Breeze Shell Womens — a 68g windproof shell that packs into its own pocket and earns its place on every long trail run where the weather might turn.
DESCRIPTION
The Breeze Shell is the jacket you carry rather than wear. 20D nylon ripstop with a light PU kiss-coat blocks wind cleanly and shrugs off the first few minutes of mist before water gets serious, then breathes properly through an integrated back vent the moment the climb starts and the effort goes up. Ergonomic shoulder construction means it doesn't restrict your arm swing the way a stiffer waterproof does, and self-bound seams keep the durability up despite the featherweight build. The whole jacket packs into its own zippered chest pocket — small enough to live in a bottle pocket on your vest, not just the rear compartment.
If you're heading out for a dawn run on Lion's Head, training in the Boland in shoulder season when conditions can swing fast, or you race events that mandate a windproof in the kit list but you'd rather carry as little weight as possible, this is the jacket. It's a windproof, not a waterproof — for sustained rain or alpine weather, step up to the UD Deluge Jacket or Ultra Jacket V2 Ladies.
