Nebo windbreaker

Light, breathable, and keeps me warm on early cool days. Once I'm warmed up it easily fits in my back pocket. If the wind come up it's easily available. Was in a light rain on my walk and I stayed dry and comfortable.

Light and compact windbreaker

I really like this jacket. I'm at Joshua Tree right now and the wind, as usual is blowing. The Nebo is a great 1st layer when I don't need insulation. I wonder how it will do under my motorcycle mesh jacket at 75 mph?

The best!

This windbreaker works great. I’ve used it while driving my Jeep with the doors off and only 60 degrees out. Stayed warm. No wind came through it. I’ve used it on several hikes that were cold and windy. Same thing. Have worn it inside my hoodie as well as outside. Comfortable. Light. Well worth the money! Honestly have been happy with every purchase from this company!

My Amex Jackets

I call the NEBO Windbreaker my Amex jacket because I never leave home without one! I have 2 so I can keep one in my bike hydration pack and one in my truck as a daily backup. On a recent rail-trail bike ride temps were in the mid 30s with winds 20 to 30mph. I really love to ride... I wore a thin wool base lever with a heavier wool pullover. Topped off my layers with my NEBO Windbreaker and was quite comfortable. I have used light rain jackets in the past only to end cold from sweating. This lightweight feels like a heavyweight that's breathable. Love it!

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.
