Ultra-Thin Windbreakers

The S-LAB Light Jacket by Soloman Folds Up to Fit in Pockets

— April 11, 2013 — Fashion
The S-LAB Light Jacket is an ultra-thin windbreaker perfect for runners, and anyone else who needs or appreciates efficient hi-tech outerwear. It offers a great way to protect people from the elements in as lightweight a manner as possible. On an even more practical note, the S-LAB Light Jacket is so thin it can fold up to fit unnoticed in people's pockets. This makes it the perfect emergency coat when temperatures drop unexpectedly or winds start to pick up.

Designed by Salomon, the S-LAB Light Jacket weighs only 70 grams (2.5 ounces). Boasting ClimaWind technology, it is made out of a highly breathable material that will help regulate body temperature. This way wearers won't ever get too hot that they feel forced to take it off for a bit.
