Columbia Willow Sky Windbreaker - Women's Black, L

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Columbia Willow Sky Windbreaker has become the layer I grab almost every time I walk out the door on an uncertain morning. The back venting keeps things from feeling stuffy when the temperature climbs, and the 2-way zipper gives me just enough flexibility to adjust on the go without having to take the whole thing off."Some jackets demand to be noticed, and some just quietly make every day easier. The Columbia Willow Sky Windbreaker is the second kind, a lightweight layer that sheds wind and light rain through a water-resistant breathable membrane while Omni-Shield technology keeps moisture and stains from soaking into the nylon in the first place. It is the jacket that lives near the door and gets grabbed constantly because it handles the unpredictable hours between morning and evening without any fuss. A 2-way front zipper opens from the bottom for mobility when the pace picks up, back venting releases heat when the effort builds, and a drawcord waist dials in the fit without making it feel structured or stiff. Elastic cuffs seal out drafts at the wrists and a droptail hem adds coverage at the back where wind tends to find gaps. The chin guard keeps the zipper away from skin on the way up, and zippered hand pockets keep the small essentials secure. This is a windbreaker that earns its spot in the rotation by being exactly right for the kind of day that starts one way and ends another.
