Beach Jacket

I mostly use mine on early morning hikes on the shore of northern Lake Michigan. It's perfect for blocking the cool breeze before the sun comes out.

Convinced me to carry this on every trip!!

I have always been skeptical of windbreakers and thought they were really useless. But I purchased the nebo to test it out. Today was a perfect test for the windbreaker, it’s around 45° with 15-25 mph winds and around 30 mph gusts. I wore my two alpha fleece layers under the nebo and was extremely comfortable. And it’s so light I’m convinced to carry this on every backpacking trip I go on. Excellent product highly recommend, especially if you haven’t tried a windbreaker for hiking.

Nebo Windbreaker

I like how lightweight the material is yet still blocks the wind, it is a versatile jacket. So far it exceeds all of my expectations and I plan on wearing it more and more.

Does it perform as described?

YES! I did a size review a couple of weeks ago. 5'8", 185, 43 chest and 37 waist. Large is spot on. Now that I have tried it with walks around the neighborhood and a hike I can say it performs admirably.
I live in the PNW and it is cool to start in the mornings-40 or so. A Patagonia mid weight and this jacket works great. I hiked 10 miles/2800 ft. at Mt. rainier NP last week and I am hooked. About 40 to start and I had the same outfit on. My partner had the mid weight top with an over shirt and a fleece vest. 15 minutes into the hike off came the vest. 45 minutes in off came the shirt. I just unzipped the Nebo. I never took it off the whole hike, just regulated using the zipper while he had to put the shirt back on once we got to the peak. Windy and cool.
Buy it!
