Claudia Steppjacke

I was a bit worried about bulk, but this jacket is surprisingly lightweight and the windproof shell really cuts through those gusty days without feeling stiff. The removable hood is a nice touch for when I'm just running errands.

The hidden zip pockets are a lifesaver for keeping my phone and keys secure without adding bulk. This jacket is incredibly light yet keeps me warm even in windy conditions, and the removable hood gives me options depending on the weather.

The hidden zip pockets are such a relief—my phone and keys actually disappear into the shell without any awkward bulge. And the weightlessness of this thing still gets me every time I put it on, yet it somehow handles biting wind like a champ.
