Mammut Brisk

For every job, there’s the right tool. When it comes to outerwear, there’s always an ideal jacket to suit your conditions. As the name would suggest, the Mammut Brisk ($179) is designed to keep you active while and warm. Constructed from lightweight Gore Windstopper, the Mammut Brisk provides a barrier against wind while remaining breathable, a necessity here in the Windy City. It features a zippered chest pocket, 2 front zip pockets, and underarm pit zips to provide added ventilation. There’s also thumb holes in the sleeves to help protect your hands if you’re not keen on wearing gloves. In addition to Gore, the Mammut Brisk also utilizes water-resistant stretch material making it the perfect light layering shell for trail running, biking, or even playing golf. Weighing in at only 12.7 ounces, packing is a cinch.
