Sometimes packing is the hardest part of spring travel. Weather can be unpredictable, and layers and jackets can take up a lot of packing space.
These 10 lightweight spring jackets for men and women will stand up to spring weather, plus they pack light and look stylish.
This durable, waterproof jacket from Helly Hansen is perfect for inclement weather in warmer temperatures. Available in three colors, the long coat is super lightweight, plus wind- and waterproof to keep you both warm and dry.
This shorter version of Helly Hansen's popular Royan Coat for men doesn't disappoint. The Royan Jacket is a super lightweight spring jacket that's packable and on-trend. Available in three neutral colors, it works both on business trips over a suit jacket and in more active settings like hiking. Completely waterproof, it's also treated with DWR and its seams are fully sealed against rainy weather.
This machine-washable coat is highly rated on Duluth Trading Co.'s website for its versatility, style, and comfort. It's a lightweight spring jacket that will still keep you warm in colder temperatures, and has four large pockets perfect for travel. The drizzle-shedding fabric is brushed on the inside so it's soft against your skin. The jacket also has a hood, adjustable waist, and a longer backside.

Patagonia's Baggies Jacket is a lightweight spring version of its classic Shelled Synchilla. This version has a DWR finish for inclement weather, but also has 50+ UPF sun protection for warmer days.
Nothing says "lightweight spring jackets" more than classic denim. I love Gap's styles for affordability and comfort. They also have some unique styles like this cropped version with striped paneled detailing.
