DO THE LIGHT THING

A jacket that blends minimalist feel with heavyweight protection

NANO-AIR LIGHT HYBRID JACKET

£160, eu.patagonia.com Four-way stretch for easy movement on the run.

Low weight of just 425g and the ability to pack down small belies the warmth of the insulation.

Outer material is ripstop nylon, which will help to prevent scuffs and snags, while the inner is soft and comfortable. Microfleece pad will protect your chin from the zip.

Waffle-knit panels on the back for breathability and ventilation.

Water-repellent treatment is good for protection from showers but not a deluge.

Thumb slots in cuffs to pull sleeves over hands when cold, and elastic binding at the hem to keep the jacket in place.

Zippered side pockets placed high to avoid being trapped by any backpack waist straps.
