Columbia windbreakers for breezy, showery days

For breezy or lightly showery days, a windbreaker often beats a heavy waterproof, cutting the wind without the weight.

Light protection that packs away

Windbreakers weigh very little and stuff into a pocket or bag, so it is easy to carry one for the moment the wind picks up on a run or a walk.

A water-repellent finish

An Omni-Shield or water-repellent finish makes light rain bead and roll off, which handles showers, though these are not built for sustained heavy rain like a waterproof shell.

Breathable for moving fast

Because they breathe well, windbreakers suit active use like running, cycling and fast hiking, where a full waterproof can feel warm and clammy.

Easy everyday cover

Light enough to keep in a bag and smart enough for town, a windbreaker is the layer you throw on when the weather is in between.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Columbia windbreakers in Ireland?

Columbia windbreakers are available online at 53 Degrees North with delivery across Ireland, plus free Click and Collect from our stores.

Are windbreakers waterproof?

No. Windbreakers block wind and their water-repellent finish sheds light showers, but they are not seam-sealed and will wet through in sustained heavy rain. For that you want a waterproof jacket.

When should I choose a windbreaker over a waterproof?

Choose a windbreaker for dry, breezy or lightly showery days, and for active use like running where breathability matters most. Choose a waterproof when steady or heavy rain is likely.

Can I pack a windbreaker away easily?

Yes. Most windbreakers are very light and fold into a pocket or a small bundle, so they add almost nothing to a bag and are easy to bring along just in case.

Can I collect orders in store?

Yes, choose Click & Collect at checkout. Orders are usually ready within 24 hours and you will get an email when ready. Available from our Dublin Carrickmines, Dublin Blanchardstown and Cork City Centre stores.

Do you offer free delivery on orders?

Where are your stores located?
