A sports garment that has evolved
The name of this jacket already hints at its original function: wind protection. And it did so in a very specific situation: in outdoor running training sessions. It has therefore always been a must-have top for all amateur and professional runners. However, the windbreaker is now much more than that. Of course, it is still used for running, but also for going out for a walk. It has thus become an urban top that can be combined with a wide range of bottoms: leggings and shorts, casual leggings, jeans and more. This is demonstrated by the models of Tenth, the Decimas brand in charge of designing sportswear. Our proposals have the necessary casual touch so that they can be part of a training outfit but also of an everyday one. The main colors are usually black and different types of gray, but often secondary tones are added to emphasize its sporty and feminine style.
Characteristics of windbreakers
The first and great characteristic of windbreakers is their light weight. They hardly weigh any weight, thus avoiding a considerable load during the race, which would limit performance. However, despite its lightness, this garment is designed with two layers: an inner layer that favors breathability and an outer layer that acts as a barrier against the wind. Another common element in women's windbreakers is the hood. Its main function is not to shelter the head on rainy days, but to provide extra protection in windy situations. The big beneficiary of this is the neck, which would be too exposed if only a crewneck sweatshirt were worn. Pockets are not usually lacking either. Logically, they are not of large dimensions or large capacity, but they do allow to carry small objects that could be useful during the race or after it: keys, coins or handkerchiefs are some cases. The closure chosen for the front is always the zipper, as it is the most comfortable and quickest system, something important in running: any runner can feel the need to fasten or unfasten during the race, without having to stop to do so. Finally, another common feature is the slim fit: this is to avoid air pockets inside on windy days. However, it should be remembered that women's windbreakers do not have stretch properties, so it is important to choose the right size in each case.
Other options from Decimas.com outside Windbreaker Woman
Beyond this section, you will find other jacket proposals that offer different features, although with similar sport style in many cases. One option you'll find outside of this section is coats: since women's windbreakers don't provide warmth, there are other tops available in Jackets that will. Zip-up sweatshirts are other garments that often replace windbreakers. However, it is worth remembering that these are usually made of cotton, so they are valid for a street look or for a light sports session, but not so much for demanding workouts, as their breathability and drying capacity is lower. As you can see, women's windbreakers have a lot to offer.
