In the off-season, you can’t do without a light windbreaker jacket in your wardrobe. And even if it cannot warm you, since it is made of thin nylon, it will perfectly protect you from wind and rain. In the pocket of this jacket you will find two elastic bands with snaps. Let's figure out together what they are intended for.
What are rubber bands for?
Having brought it from the store and carefully examined the new thing, you noted the pleasant color scheme, stylish design, attractive fittings and quality of the fabric.. But not right away, but while wearing it, one day they put their hand in their pocket and felt some kind of strap made of a wide elastic band. Oh miracle! The second one has the same story.
It turns out that the design of the jacket allows it to be folded quickly and easily to be hidden in a pocket. This step is very convenient. After all, if your windbreaker gets wet in the rain, it’s inconvenient for you to put it in a bag or carry it in your hands. And by folding and hiding the product in its own pocket, you will get a compact handbag that you can hang on your hand and carry home without much hassle.
How to fold a windbreaker into a pocket
How can you pack an entire summer jacket into one of its pockets? You will have to follow this algorithm:
- turn one pocket inside out and pull out the elastic from the other;
- fold the jacket as compactly as possible (in a windbreaker unfolded and zipped, first tuck the hood along the shoulders, then place the right sleeve over the “torso”, do the same with the left, then fold the product in three);
- put your windbreaker in your pocket;
- snap the fasteners of both elastic bands.
You now have a small, convenient handbag that, if desired, can be fastened to your belt, hung on your arm, or thrown over your shoulder.
This procedure is convenient not only in the city or on the sports ground, but also very useful on a camping trip.
Did you buy a windbreaker?
If you've turned the pockets of your light jacket inside out several times but haven't found any elastic bands inside, think: Maybe you didn't buy a windbreaker at all? Before you go shopping next time, find out the main features of this type of clothing.
So, a real windbreaker should be made of waterproof material, which at the same time can protect against the piercing autumn wind. It must have a straight silhouette. Sometimes, usually in women's models, a slight fit is allowed due to the elastic sewn along the waist line.
The cuffs and bottom of the product must be tightened with elastic bands. There are always side pockets with fasteners. There may be an additional pair of patch pockets on the chest - but this is not at all necessary.
The collar is usually made stand-up. Another mandatory attribute is a hood, which is attached to the jacket with a zipper, Velcro or fastened with buttons.
Now you have learned how to put your windbreaker in your pocket and can safely go on a trip through city streets, to the stadium or into nature. And a compactly folded windbreaker will always be there to protect you in case the weather suddenly turns bad.
