Windbreakers vs. Rain Jackets

In this clip, Tayson and Brigham discuss the core purpose of a windbreaker and its differences with a rain jacket. They explain that the primary goal of a windbreaker is to block the wind to preserve the core body temperature and prevent or reduce convective heat loss. The fabric used in a windbreaker should be breathable and allow moisture to escape, unlike a rain jacket that is less breathable and has a waterproof membrane. They further discuss the energy and water inefficiency of using a rain jacket as a windbreaker and highlight the narrow use case of rain jackets compared to windbreakers. If you're planning to use a jacket while moving, a windbreaker is more suitable due to its breathability and ability to maintain temperature.
