Which wind jackets are suitable for trail and enduro?
A windproof but not fully waterproof membrane keeps out cold air, while the jacket can still be folded up small and stowed in a backpack. Reflective details on the sleeves and back also increase visibility when forest trails quickly get darker at dusk.
Especially after a sweaty climb, your body cools down quickly on the following technical descent due to the extra headwind – a moment when you can quickly pull on a lightweight wind jacket.
Tip: Put on the wind jacket shortly before you reach the top rather than only once the descent begins, as heat loss at high speed is felt very quickly.
