Ever been stuck at the start line of a winter road race, shivering to your core? You’re not alone. We've all seen it—runners wrapping themselves in plastic bags just to keep warm, leaving the start area looking like a trash zone. That’s exactly why we created the 7D Packable Jacket. This jacket is all about keeping you comfortable without weighing you down.

Made with ultra-lightweight 7D (denier) ripstop nylon, it’s as light as a feather—just 48g (Size M)—but still blocks the wind like a pro. It’s so thin that, depending on the color, your race bib might even show through. Perfect for those chilly minutes before the race kicks off.

And it’s not just for race day. The 7D Packable Jacket is your go-to for everyday runs when the weather’s all over the place. It’s super easy to throw on and packs down small into its own pocket when you don’t need it. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or just getting some fresh air, this jacket’s got you covered—literally!

When it comes to the 7D Packable Jacket, we didn’t just focus on lightweight design—we obsessed over it. To keep things as light as possible, we skipped the hood, went with a half-zip pullover style, and swapped the zippered packable pocket for a simple Velcro closure. But don’t let the weight fool you. The durable ripstop nylon with C0 water-repellent finish means you’re still getting solid protection against the elements. It’s the perfect balance of ultra-lightweight convenience and serious functionality.

• PFC Free

  In the past, the backbone of rainwear has been fluorine processing technology. However, in recent years, it has become evident that the substances used in this technology accumulate in the environment, posing risks to human health as "forever chemicals." As a result, regulations worldwide have progressed from traditional "C8" water repellent technology, which utilizes perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), to "C6" water repellent technology that specifically avoids harmful substances like PFOA. Furthermore, beyond this, there's fluorine-free water repellency, known as "PFC-free," achieved without the use of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) themselves.

  At HERENESS, we’re fully committed to this change. We’re not only adopting C0 PFC-free water repellents in all our new products but also transitioning our existing lineup from C6 to C0. It’s our way of ensuring that our gear is as kind to the planet as it is tough against the elements.
