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.

Good information. I've started to move to the wind shell as well for all the reasons you both mentioned. Nate

A wind jacket can weigh 50 or 100 grams, which is a little addition to the rucksack for the added comfort one has is climbing in a windy environment. That's not an alternative to the rain jacket.

It is an alternative to a rain jacket if you buy it and it states that prevents water penetration.

I always take both if it’s a threat of rain. The weight of a premium wind shell’s so low can’t justify not taking one since I’ll likely have it on until it starts legit raining. Whether it’s a Houdini or Airshed depends on the conditions, but I’ll tend towards Airshed for breathability. If I don’t need a hard shell, I’ll wear the AS for when moving, & throw the Houdini on top when resting. If I bring a shell it’s the Storm Racer since I can open up the whole chest when needed. My more traditional hard shell’s for in-town use.
