Description: When the sun is shining and the temperatures are warm, it’s easy to forget to bring a jacket on a summer hike. But it takes only one time getting stuck in the rain or falling temperatures to remind you how valuable it can be to have coverage for when the weather turns.

The Prelight 2.5L jacket from Jack Wolfskin is a great item to have in your pack at all times. The 100% waterproof and windproof top will protect you from the elements — yet it only weighs in at 165 grams (at size medium), meaning that you’ll hardly notice the difference in your backpack. It’s made with a 2.5-layer Texapore Pro fabric that is also highly breathable, keeping you comfortable underneath even in severe weather. You can use the two small hand pockets to store an energy bar or phone, and the jacket’s hem is adjustable to dial in the right fit. The hood also features a prominent peak to shield your face when the rain is coming down hard.

Of course, the Prelight doesn’t only have to serve as an emergency jacket; its stylish fit makes it look good anywhere, whether off the beaten path or running errands around town. Just put it back in your pack the next time you hit the trails.
