Brandit summer windbreaker

The Brandit Summer Windbreaker has the classic anorak design with a hood and large chest pocket, but uses a light mesh lining instead of fleece or teddy lining. It suits milder, warmer days when you want protection from the wind without wearing a warmly lined jacket.

Fabric and comfort

The open mesh lining creates a little space between your skin and the outer fabric, helping the jacket feel more comfortable as you warm up. It can reduce the clingy sensation that a smooth lining directly against your skin may cause. Both the mesh lining and outer fabric are 100% polyester.

When your pace picks up on a walk or the sun comes out, you can open the neck and side zips to let in more air. Side ventilation makes it easier to adjust your comfort along the way. The shell protects against wind and repels water, making the anorak useful in light showers too.

Design and practical details

A drawcord lets you adjust the hood, and you can fasten the neck zip fully to shield your neck from a chilly breeze. The hem drawcord lets you tighten the jacket around your hips. Elasticated cuffs keep the sleeves comfortably in place.

The large chest pocket and two side pockets have zips, keeping your phone, keys and other small essentials secure. The side zip also provides extra room when putting the anorak on or taking it off.

Everyday use and choosing a model

Summer has a regular fit and suits anyone who likes a pullover anorak but does not need a warm lining. On cooler days, it can also serve as a wind-protective layer beneath a roomy jacket. Mesh takes up less space than a thick fleece or teddy lining, but the outer jacket still needs room for both layers so you can move freely.

If the jacket becomes less water-repellent over time, a suitable reproofing treatment can help maintain the finish. Always follow the jacket's care label and the treatment manufacturer's instructions.

• For a warmer lining, consider the fleece-lined Brandit Windbreaker Anorak or the teddy-lined Brandit Sherpa Windbreaker.
