I wonder how well those nylon hooded jackets that have the mesh on the inside that places like Wal-Mart and Target sell for about $18 actually do. I know they should not be used as a rain jacket but they could probably pass for a wind jacket at 9-10oz but how breathable are they?
I received one of those a few years ago for my birthday from a well meaning relative.
I wore it in north east Ohio for an easy day hike in mid October. The temperature was about 60 degrees that day.
I'm not a really bad sweat hog, but I was miserable in the jacket.
JMO but I've found that the cheap jackets like Walmart carries don't breathe well at all.
I think they're made to be used for more stationary things like fishing, even though it listed hiking as a use on the tag.

DS2 Meridian: Vintage Dive Style, Everyday ReliabilityInspired by the streamlined "skin diver" watches of the 1960s, the DS2 Meridian combines vintage proportions with the durability of a modern everyday tool watch. A reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movement delivers set-it-and-forget-it accuracy, while 150 meters of water resistance, a locking screwdown crown, sapphire crystal, and strong Super-LumiNova make it ocean-ready. Available in multiple case sizes and starting under $250, it's an approachable way to get classic dive-watch styling without sacrificing everyday practicality.
