Wild Rye Rustler Windbreaker

Wild Rye Rustler Windbreaker

An ultralight, packable wind jacket built specifically for runners and cyclists who need weather protection on the move without anything slowing them down. The Rustler packs into its own pocket, clips to your handlebars or running belt, and deploys fast when the weather changes on a long effort.

Why We Carry It
It's the jacket we recommend when someone needs something light enough to forget about on a bike or in a vest pocket until a Colorado afternoon storm rolls in and they're suddenly very glad they brought it.

Highlights

• 100% recycled nylon construction — A soft, airy, and notably quiet stretch nylon that moves with you without the crinkly, restrictive feel of standard windbreaker fabrics. Full recycled content without compromising performance or packability.
• PFAS-free DWR finish — Sheds light moisture and wind without the environmental concerns of traditional fluorinated treatments. Handles light rain and wind on the move without soaking through.
• Helmet-compatible adjustable hood — Fits cleanly over a bike helmet or running hat without bunching or shifting. Adjustable enough to dial in coverage without restricting peripheral vision on technical descents or trail sections.
• Packs into its own internal pocket with clip straps — Stuffs down to a compact package that clips directly to handlebars or a running belt for instant access when the weather turns. No fumbling with your pack or vest to retrieve it mid-effort.
• Three zippered pockets — Two hand pockets and one chest pocket for secure storage of essentials on the bike or trail. Zippered closure keeps contents secure at speed.
• Extended cuff design — Added coverage at the wrist where wind and rain sneak in on exposed descents and open road sections.
• Slight drop hem in back — Extra coverage at the lower back where a shorter jacket would leave you exposed in a forward riding or running position.
• 5.2 ounce weight — Light enough to clip to your bike and forget about until you need it. A competitive weight for a packable wind jacket with this level of feature coverage.
• 27-inch center back length — Long enough to provide real coverage in an athletic forward position without bunching or riding up.

Best for

Cyclists, runners, and active outdoor athletes who want a packable, breathable wind jacket that deploys fast and disappears when the weather clears. A strong choice for Colorado mountain riding and running where afternoon weather changes fast and being caught without a layer is a real risk.
