Claude Water Repellent Quilted Puffer Jacket

The Claude jacket, is quite literally the jacket that was missing from my closet. From a performance perspective, the jacket is ultra light weight, wind and water resistant, insulating and compact. (It packs into one of its pockets.) I’ll wear mine on mountain under my ski suit for extra non bulky insulation. As technical as the jacket is, she’s also super cute - for daily life. I’ll put on Claude to run errands, hit up Pilates, or for coffee dates. The slimming fit and dual drawstrings on the waist make the jacket versatile both on and off the mountain. I choose shadow for my jacket- love the cool blue ripstop. The fabric glimmers in the right light which I absolutely love.

I absolutely adore Halfdays winter gear. Wearing the Isabel and Emma bottoms is the first time I've actually been comfortable in ski year as a petite hourglass shaped woman (small waist, big booty, thick thighs). So I was excited to try Halfdays summer gear as well, but disappointed with the cropped and unflattering styles I saw. At the end of the season I saw the Joyner windbreaker on sale and figured why not give it a try. I LOVE IT. It's super lightweight, so cute AND functional. I'd call it tissue weight. Perfect for packing down to a miniscule size in a backpack for hiking. Effective at keeping you warm in windy conditions. I haven't tried it in rain yet but other reviews said it works well for that. I have used it as a shield from sun (white color) while out fishing and it's perfect for that. Everyone else in our group was baking/crisping in short sleeves and I was perfectly comfortable in the windbreaker. Solid investment, very happy I purchased. For reference I'm 5'4", 140 lb athletic/muscular hourglass shape. Purchased size small and it's just the right amount of oversized to be comfy & cute without being baggy (cuter & more fitted than on the model photos).

the white joyner windbreaker has been my fav for my morning runs and for weekend hikes. it's so lightweight and i especially love it paired with the light blue hiking shorts also from halfdays. i've gotten so many compliments on it. i love how it literally doesn't feel like you're wearing anything.
