It’s not always this easy to narrow down competing models and make a top pick, but among windbreaker jackets, the Patagonia Houdini Air is head and shoulders above the rest. Building off the beloved Houdini below, the new Air takes the old formula but adds a ton of breathability and comfort to the mix. The jacket pairs a double-weave liner with a standard nylon shell, offering great wind protection and a softer feel than any other design in its weight class. In many ways, the Houdini Air is the Swiss Army Knife of windbreaker jackets and makes a great option for hiking, running, mountain biking, and a wide variety of other outdoor uses.

Keep in mind that with such a thin shell and air-permeable weave, you do give up some of the bombproof protection of a 100% nylon jacket like the original Houdini. That said, we took the Air out in 60mph, knock-you-over gusts near Patagonia’s Cerro Castillo and felt sufficiently sheltered from the storm. And although the jacket’s DWR coating is impressive, a thicker shell fabric (like that of the Black Diamond Alpine Start below) will offer better wet-weather protection. That said, no other design can match the minimalist build and performance chops and of the Houdini Air, making it our top windbreaker of 2022... Read in-depth reviewSee the Men's Patagonia Houdini Air  See the Women's Patagonia Houdini Air

OutdoorGearLab

The Patagonia Houdini is an iconic windbreaker jacket, and as a repeat winner at the top of our podium, continues to set the standard for all other jackets in this category. It performs exactly as a windbreaker should, packing down and stowing away until you need to break it out to protect you from wind or light rain. The entire jacket stuffs into its chest pocket &mdash; the resulting package is only about the size of a small banana. The lightweight package easily clips to a belt, climbing harness, or stashes into the smallest corner of your pack &mdash; it even squeezes comfortably into the tiniest seat bags, making it a great companion for long bike rides. Though it will never compare directly to a rain jacket, the ultralight DWR coating is at the top of its class and does a solid job of balancing wind resistance with breathability.
With its most recent makeover, the historically too-small chest pocket of the Houdini has been updated to accommodate the ever-growing size of newer smartphones &#40;though it is still a bit of an awkward fit.&#41; If you are biking, running, skiing downhill, or outside in any aggressive wind, the hood tends to catch air like a sail, uncomfortably stretching the collar against your neck. Without any features to improve ventilation, you can only push up the sleeves to cool off &mdash; without full-elastic wrist cuffs, this can cut off circulation for those with muscular forearms. These small design criticisms aside, the Houdini is still our favorite windbreaker. It is a multifunctional jacket, well-suited to all-day alpine adventures, long trail runs, exposed free climbs, and evening mountain bike laps.

Remaining one of our favorite options for when keeping weight low matters most is the Patagonia Houdini. This impressively lightweight windbreaker continues to earn some of our highest ratings in wind resistance, weight, and packability. This piece has been around for years, which has allowed Patagonia to fine-tune the details to get a seriously impressive mix of function and weight savings. The Houdini compacts into a ridiculously lightweight 3.1 ounce package, sure to please even the most hardcore ultralight enthusiast. Despite this absurdly low weight, the Houdini is still impressively wind-resistant and withstood every adventure we wore it on, from climbing and mountain biking to hiking and boating. 
Of course, this impressively thin layer is a bit see-through, particularly in some of its lighter colors. This makes it not the best-looking model we tested. And though it claims to have a DWR coating, it does still eventually get wet &mdash; and a little quicker than some others. Compared to the Patagonia Houdini Air, the Houdini is slightly lighter but slightly less breathable. It retails for less than a lot of less-impressive models in our lineup and has your back when you need to stay protected and still travel ultralight.

 I always throw it in my vest, just as a fail-safe when I ran Zion and I got extra cold at night. I threw this on under my heavier jackets, and it was just one more layer of insulation between my skin and so there you have it. The Patagonia Houdini, I love this shell. I would highly recommend it because it's so light and versatile, I always pack it in my vest for my hundred-mile runs if there's any chance of rain, or certainly at night as just an extra layer

 We might as well make it six minutes. It'S just very lightly sprinkling right now. We'Re gon na see how this holds up if I'm fairly dry. We'Re gon na know that this is gon na last for a little while at least all right, we are, we are just over six minutes in it has quit raining, so we are gon na unzip and see just how wet we are

How do you expect to go snow? You goofball, you goofer, you goofer, [, Laughter, ], kids and dogs, kids and dogs. Well, the rain is actually starting to lighten up a little bit we're at about. I don't whew can see that about just over three minutes now. I'M gon na stay out here until five minutes for sure, if nothing else the water, if nothing else, the water is sitting on the jacket you'll see if it's gon na soak through or not it's still as you can see by the sprinkles, is still raining

4 oz) + Walmart Poncho (1 oz). Pro: I already carry my wind layer and umbrella, so the additional weight penalty is very low. Cons: Emergency Poncho is plastic/disposable, only lasts 5-10 uses before it gets ripped, needs to be replaced frequently. Umbrella does not work well when it is very windy

I prefer the snug fit which makes it an excellent companion piece to a shell or insulated jacket. For reference I am a tweener sized human, size S Nanopuff and size M Houdini both purchased in 2011. Excellent breathability, cut, comfort.

Midlayer Megathread

 Considering its weight, Patagonia nailed all the right features. You can cinch the hem to block out wind at the waist, the half-elastic cuffs seal nicely around the wrists, and a single adjustment at the hood allows you to tighten it down effectively. Finally, the slight drop hem at the back is a nice touch for a little extra coverage. All in all, the amount of versatility you get for the weight is truly remarkable

 And on our trip to Patagonia, I found myself keeping the Houdini close and wearing it daily. It cut the wind nicely when we stopped for lunch while backpacking, and I hiked in it if the weather was cool or the wind was particularly rough.

 You don't want to carry it or whatever, but it's the size of a pair of socks and if you squish it down it's the size of a baseball, it's really really small. So you can actually put it in your pocket. It will fit in a pocket and you know pump it out there. You go super super light

 You just put it in that there you go really really small, really really light. You can hook it for your bag. You don't want to carry it or whatever, but it's the size of a pair of socks and if you squish it down it's the size of a baseball, it's really really small. So you can actually put it in your pocket

 It'S it's, not it's not going to fit every cell phone. I fifth mine mine is Samsung S 10 II. It probably won't fit an iPhone, but, like smaller phone will fit in there, like I said, Samsung will fit no problem, but you can fit your keys and your money if you want, depending on what you want to use it for its try to get it like. A bit larger or the size that you usually wear don't get it smaller because it's a tight fit I'm wearing something under

 It will fit in a pocket and you know pump it out there. You go super super light. Super light jacket awesome for that really really great. So I hope you enjoyed that video if you did make sure to subscribe and hit the bell button

Patagonia Houdini Jacket Review - How Does This Wind Cheater Perform?

Patagonia

r/PatagoniaClothing

 Driving rain, snow, hail, sleet, deep powder, and wind can't beat this thing. It's built with a durable 75 denier polyester and a three-layer Gore-Tex waterproof membrane to guarantee weather protection. It's loaded with other features to help you stay ready for whatever the mountain throws at you. To keep with Patagonia's commitment to sustainability, the face fabric is 100 percent recycled, which I think is pretty neat

 There is also a DWR finish on the outside to shed that initial precipitation. To get started with the abundance of features, you get a full length front zipper that is highly water resistant. That zipper comes up to an oversized optimal visibility hood that is helmet compatible. The visor is laminated to help keep the structure in nasty conditions

 Under the arms you have these two way highly water resistant pit zips. You can open those up for easy venting without worrying about getting wet. They are also a bit more roomy so the jacket won't lift up as you raise your arms, which is crucial. Another bit that enhances the protection you get with this jacket is in the lower back

 The fit is considered a regular fit. I am wearing a large and it does feel very roomy. The expectation is you are going to have some serious layers under here and I have got plenty of space for a down puffy or more. You do get low profile cuffs with hook and loop closures and a draw cord hem to adjust that fit and seal out the weather

 This is the Patagonia Men's Triolet Jacket. This jacket is built for serious weather and alpine abuse. Driving rain, snow, hail, sleet, deep powder, and wind can't beat this thing. It's built with a durable 75 denier polyester and a three-layer Gore-Tex waterproof membrane to guarantee weather protection
