Windbreaker

Regular jackets or coats may include a type of windbreaker as an interlining that can be removed when desired.

[2] Brightly colored windbreakers may also be worn by runners as protection from the weather, and as a reflective garment used for safety.

[citation needed] A 2012 study demonstrated that adding windbreaker pants and jackets is a lightweight but effective means of delaying hypothermia if the user is outside walking and encounters unexpected low temperatures.

Windcheater is also used to describe a retail item used on the beach and camping to prevent wind from disturbing social enjoyment.

Normally made from cotton, nylon, canvas and recycled sails, these windbreaks tend to have three or more panels held in place with poles that slide into pockets sewn into the panel (like many tents).The poles are then hammered into the ground and a windbreak is formed.
