Whether you’re setting out on a sunrise summit, rambling along a woodland path, or simply exploring a new park with the family, the right jacket can make all the difference. As summer gives way to the crisp mornings and cool evenings of late August, these jackets become even more valuable—ready to shield you from a sudden breeze on an exposed ridge or keep you comfortable when clouds roll in.
