If there really is a product that is perfect in every way, then the Pantagonia Wind Shield Jacket may fit that description. The Pantagonia Wind Shield Jacket is a durable soft shell that combines the following features: lightweight, warm, windproof, water repellent, moisture wicking, ventilation and so much more. It is a jacket that was made for cold temperatures in the winter, but can also be used during those extra cold morning runs during the fall and spring as well. And the cherry to the sundae is that is actually looks good enough to wear everyday in casual situations as well. That just means that the Pantagonia Wind Shield Jacket can be worn all year long, which will definitely give you your money’s worth if you ask me.

Pantagonia is also a company that cares about the environment. You’ve heard of recycled paper, but what about recycled polyester? That’s right, Pantagonia “recycles used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.” That just gives another reason to buy from a company (if all of the features before weren’t persuasive enough.
