What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I grab the Freeway Wind Jacket for breezy ridgelines and fast starts where a full shell is overkill. It packs down small, blocks wind really well, and breathes better than expected when I'm moving hard. The hood fits cleanly, and the adjustable hem keeps it from flapping when things get gusty."We reach for the Freeway Wind Jacket from La Sportiva when speed, packability, and protection all matter. It's the layer we toss on for early-morning starts, windy summits, and quick missions where staying light keeps the day flowing. Built with an ultralight recycled polyamide fabric, the Freeway cuts wind while remaining breathable for high-output movement. Laser-cut perforations under the arms and on the hood improve airflow, while an adjustable hem and elastic cuffs help seal out gusts. The streamlined hood offers low-profile coverage, and a stowable chest pocket makes it easy to pack and deploy on the fly.
