Practical and high-performing, the windbreaker has become an essential jacket for the transitional season — in spring or autumn, as well as in summer when temperatures drop or the wind picks up. Lightweight, water-repellent and packable, it provides protection against the elements and moisture, preventing the wind from penetrating between your clothes and repelling rain.
To be effective, a windbreaker must above all be water-repellent and not necessarily fully waterproof. Indeed, a 100% waterproof jacket would not always allow the body to breathe optimally, particularly during physical exertion.
Unrivalled durability
Despite their light and supple appearance, Pyrenex windbreakers are just as resilient during the transitional season, thanks to the technical properties of their fabrics. Water-repellent and sometimes even waterproof for certain rain-specific jackets, our windbreakers will be your best allies on rainy days. The Omega coach jacket is notably equipped with sealed seams for better protection against the elements, keeping you perfectly dry — as does the Guardian.
To avoid the sudden temperature changes typical of the transitional season that can cause you to perspire easily, Pyrenex jackets are made from breathable fabric. Thanks to 37.5™ Technology present on certain products, water vapour is captured and released by active particles derived from bamboo charcoal, thus preventing the build-up of moisture. The water vapour generated by your body heat is easily expelled through the breathability of our fabrics.
Windbreaker: a versatile and eco-friendly piece
The windbreaker can be worn in a variety of ways thanks to its practical and versatile nature. In the city or in the mountains, the windbreaker is the go-to piece to have in your wardrobe.
Its crease-resistant fabric means you can easily pack it in a rucksack and take it out again straight away without it having suffered any damage.
At Pyrenex, it is extremely lightweight and foldable into its storage pocket to accompany and protect you even on your most distant travels. Our range combines a selection of classic, colourful or understated styles, with or without a hood, in fine, durable and high-quality materials. These on-trend styles exude elegance. With the return of vintage fashion and colourful styles inspired by the 90s, the windbreaker has once again become the ultimate on-trend garment, seen on fashion runways, at fashion weeks and of course in our everyday lives, in the city and in the mountains.
In the city, the windbreaker pairs effortlessly with jeans or chino trousers for everyday wear. However, it is out in nature — on a forest or mountain hike with your favourite trainers — that this jacket proves most useful and most appreciated.
Available for men, women and children aged 8 to 16, the windbreaker is also an intergenerational piece that appeals to young and old alike. Some of our windbreakers come in matching adult/child styles to create father-son or mother-daughter coordinated looks.
Ever more eco-friendly windbreakers
In order to remain true to its commitments, Pyrenex continues to move towards an ever more eco-friendly approach, constantly proposing new ideas and the least polluting fabrics possible.
Within our windbreaker range, the Cyclic jacket perfectly embodies this eco-responsible approach thanks to its 100% recycled polyester fabric and its zero-waste process. On average, 22% of the fabric used to make a windbreaker is discarded. This represents 9,800 m² of fabric wasted for every 10,000 pieces. To address this issue, Pyrenex has designed a pattern that produces less than 5% fabric offcuts.
