Packaway Jackets

Packaway jackets come in a few key styles, each suited to different uses and conditions.

• Lightweight packaway jackets: Designed for mild showers and breezy weather, these focus on low weight and easy portability for everyday use.
• Waterproof packaway jackets: Built with waterproof fabrics and sealed construction to provide reliable protection during heavier or prolonged rain.
• Hybrid packaway jackets: Combine water resistance with increased breathability, making them well suited to walking, travel, and light outdoor activity.
• Insulated packaway jackets: Include light padding for cooler days while still packing down small enough to carry easily.

Each type offers year-round practicality without adding bulk to your kit.

Materials & How They Work

Women’s packaway jackets rely on performance-driven fabrics to deliver comfort, durability, and protection.

• Polyamide: Lightweight and abrasion-resistant, helping jackets remain compact but hard-wearing.
• Polyester: Quick-drying and easy to care for, ideal for regular outdoor use.
• PU (Polyurethane): Used in coatings to help water bead and run off the surface.
• TPU membranes: Add waterproof and breathable protection while remaining flexible.
• Polyester mesh linings: Improve airflow and reduce clamminess during movement.

Together, these materials allow packaway jackets to remain lightweight while handling wet and windy conditions.

Why Weather Resistance Matters

A packaway jacket needs to perform well when the weather turns quickly. The balance between waterproofing, breathability, and weight is key.

• Waterproof rating: 3,000–5,000 mm offers dependable protection from rain and light showers.
• Breathability: 2,000–3,000 g/m²/24h helps release heat and moisture during movement.
• Weight: Typically 100–300 g, keeping the jacket easy to carry and comfortable to wear.

This performance ensures women’s packaway jackets protect you from the elements without feeling heavy or restrictive.

Small design details make a big difference in everyday use.

• Packable construction that folds into its own pocket or pouch
• Lightweight design that fits easily into a backpack or handbag
• Water-resistant or waterproof finishes for sudden showers
• TPU-membrane options for enhanced wet-weather protection
• Breathable mesh linings to improve comfort
• Adjustable hood and hem for better coverage
• Elasticated cuffs to block draughts
• Durable outer fabrics suited to regular wear

These features help packaway jackets remain practical for both outdoor adventures and daily routines.

Matching your packaway jacket to how and when you’ll wear it improves comfort and reliability.

• Day hiking: Breathable lightweight jackets with water-resistant finishes work well for light rain and variable conditions.
• Travel: Ultra-compact designs fit easily into luggage and provide quick protection when sightseeing.
• Running or cycling: Windproof styles with reflective details support comfort and visibility during movement.
• Camping: Slightly more durable fabrics with adjustable hoods offer better coverage in exposed areas.

Choosing the right style ensures your jacket works with your routine rather than against it.
