Compressport Hurricane Windproof Jacket 5

If you’re on the hunt for a lightweight, no-nonsense windproof jacket that won’t weigh you down, the Compressport Hurricane Windproof Jacket might just be your new best mate. Weighing in at a mere 100 grams, this insanely light layer has been designed for those who refuse to let blustery conditions interfere with their outdoor pursuits… or need to remove it as a potential excuse.

Fit-wise, the Hurricane is tailored to provide a second-skin feel, eliminating any bothersome flapping. Its 4-way stretch construction allows full freedom of movement, and it can even accommodate a trail pack underneath. The full-length, self-locking zip can be opened for extra breathability when things get a bit toasty. A handy chest pocket keeps essentials close and also doubles as the jacket’s own stuff sack for compact storage.

The jacket’s front panels and arms are crafted from Tafta fabric, offering solid protection against wind and cold. Meanwhile, the back and sleeves feature Compressport’s On/Off technology, which cleverly mimics alveoli (remember those from school biology?) that open to maximise breathability. This smart ventilation system keeps your base layers dry and comfortable, even during high-intensity efforts.
Although primarily designed to fend off the wind, the jacket also offers moderate water resistance, so you can’t blame a bit of drizzle for skipping a session. The long-cut sleeves, high neck, and slightly extended rear hem all provide extra coverage and warmth where it counts. Reflective detailing on the front, back, and wrists helps keep you visible in low-light conditions, making it great for early morning or evening outings.

The Compressport Hurricane Windproof Jacket is a cracking choice for running, hiking, cycling, or any outdoor activity where weight and breathability matter. It’s incredibly light, highly packable, and performs brilliantly in windy and unpredictable conditions. Whether you’re out for a training day or lining up on race day, it’s a versatile bit of kit that you’ll be glad to have in your wardrobe. Quite simply, a no-brainer investment for anyone who takes their outdoor adventures seriously. RRP £110
