Top Rated: Mizuno Lightweight Hoody Wind Jacket (Kato 2.0) (7.8 / 10)
Category: Ultralight (~100g) Hooded Wind Jacket
The Mizuno Hoody Wind Jacket is designed for runners but if looked after will serve long distance mountain trekkers well. It's a stripped-down, hooded wind jacket with a minimal pack size, that weighs almost nothing, will resist a light shower, but most importantly, blocks the wind. The adjustment-free hood is perhaps the highlight; compatible with beanies and caps, it moves with the head with no noticeable hindrance to one's field of view (vertical or horizontal). With decent venting options and a nice silky feel, the Mizuno is a very comfortable, featherlight option, and for those who like lightweight softshells (especially hoodless ones) is an excellent, year-round supplement. Mizuno's Hoody Wind Jacket is Scramble's top pick in the Ultralight Wind-Top category.
