Houdini Jacket delivers featherweight, packable weather protection for fast-moving pursuits
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“This is the layer I never leave behind—whether I’m trail running, biking, or just heading out on a windy day. It weighs next to nothing, blocks the chill, and disappears into my pack or pocket when I don’t need it. It’s a true just-in-case MVP.”
We’re all about packing light and staying ready, and the Houdini Jacket makes it easy to do both. Crafted from 100% recycled nylon ripstop, this ultra-light shell offers wind and light weather protection that disappears into its own chest pocket when the skies clear. It’s the perfect layer to have stashed in a running vest, climbing pack, or bike jersey pocket when conditions shift mid-mission.
The streamlined design features a one-pull adjustable hood, half-elastic cuffs, and a drop-tail hem for coverage that moves with us. The featherweight fabric has a PFC-free DWR finish to shed light moisture, and a reflective chest logo adds a touch of visibility for early starts or late descents. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, the Houdini proves that the lightest layers can still make the biggest impact.

Ultra Lightweight
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- xs
Great lightweight summer layer for wind/rain - exactly what I was looking for. It's a pretty slim fit. I went with my usual xs in Patagonia and I can fit a tank or slim tee underneath, but not much else. This works for me since I wanted something for hot weather, but definitely size up if you plan to layer over anything heavier. So far, it's held up well in light rain and doesn't trap heat, but I'm not sure I'd trust the water protection in a heavy downpour.

Packs down to a pocket size.

Packs down to pocket size, runs a bit tighter around the torso than original Houdini jacket. Would NOT be good over thick layers.

The one I bought is a different one as the picture, but anyway the color is a little darker than pictured, really want to return it but the shipping back is not free.

Can't beat the weight!!

This is my 2nd. Houdini jacket. It weighs less than an ounce, yet protects from wind quite well. Very flattering fit, on me it's a tad longer than on the model. (5'4", 120 lbs.) Last time I purchased one size up to fit fleece inside, this will be for more hotter hiking with wind at 10,000 ft. mode. The prints are great and this jacket will double as a nice shirt apres-hike!

Descriptions were accurate, especially colors and sizes. I use my Houdini jacket nine months out of a year. It washed as well, hang dry as recommend. Backcountry is my first go-to store for all my adventures. I especially love that they have a large selection of brands, including their genetic brand. Online order and return were super easy! They have quality product at great prices. Easy to find sizes and colors that I wanted. Their prices are unbeatable, especially their sale events. I highly recommend Backcountry for your next adventures.

I bought this jacket after eying it on my cycling teammate all fall and winter. Perfect layer for the wind and light precipitation. And Backcountry perks helped pay for half. 😉

Nice Light Weight Jacket

Am always fan of Patagonia products and this is all as it was described when I ordered it. Somehow, I guess I missed that there are no pockets which keeps it nicely fitted, close to the body. However, had I realized that there were no pockets, probably would not have ordered it. But I did keep it.

Just got this to prep for rainy and windy Seattle fall runs. Love how lightweight and portable it is. I'm almost wishing for it to start raining here. Almost.

I absolutely love my Houdinis (yes, plural). I use it for biking, running, fighting the Pacific wind and sometimes also the sun. It makes picking the right wardrobe so easy: Jersey/shirt + houdini works in the winter and in the summer. If you area outdoorsy person you definitely want to have one (or two,...).
