Who did we design it for?

For trail runners who want head and torso protection against gusts without carrying extra weight.

They move across exposed cols and ridges where the nape wind is just as disruptive as a headwind.

This athlete refuses any kit that slows down movement or adds weight.

How should you wear it?

Wear as an outer layer over a breathable base for trail or fast hiking outings. The hood tucks easily into the collar when conditions allow.

We recommend your usual size.

What makes the difference?

Its integrated ultra-light hood (115g total) offers full protection for the torso and head without any extra weight. It protects where the gusts do the most damage - nape and face.

Trail running

Light, responsive, ready in a single move

The wind picks up without warning. On an exposed col or at the end of an outing, conditions change fast and every extra gram takes its toll.

The windproof jacket with hood is the answer. It blocks gusts the moment you pull it on, without adding bulk to your movement. At 100g, it packs away into its chest pocket in seconds, then comes back to hand when the weather turns. Its water-repellent treatment sheds the first drops without adding a membrane or stiffness.

Because the best outings don't wait for your gear. They demand reactive, lightweight protection, available at the right moment.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers especially appreciate how remarkably lightweight it is: it compresses easily and slips into a backpack, making it ideal for chilly starts, trail running, hiking or a pilgrimage. Its good breathability, comfort while moving and effectiveness against wind are also frequently praised, without hindering the run. The close-fitting cut remains comfortable and the quality meets expectations. Be aware, however, that it runs small and can feel tight across the chest: check the size guide carefully and consider sizing up, especially if you plan to wear another layer underneath.

I was specifically looking for a super lightweight windbreaker for my pilgrimage and found it at Cimalp. It's well-made, has plenty of pockets, and packs down very small. It's comfortable to wear and doesn't feel like plastic. I normally wear a size L, so this jacket runs very small. The exchange process was seamless.

As usual, real quality perceived upon unpacking, very thin, light jacket, impeccable windproof, fits perfectly (M for 1.82m, 67kg, slim build), back pocket for compacting serves as an accessory pocket for keys, it's well thought out, nothing to complain about.

Great quality product. Very close-fitting cut. For chest size, consider getting a size at the upper end of the range.

Lightweight, easy to compress and put in your backpack. I bought it for trail running but I will also use it for trekking trips.
