English term or phrase: windbreaker
"One breezy late August morning while sitting with Nick on his terrace after having gone for a run, I noticed a small purple ribbon pinned to his windbreaker."

Encontrei duas opções no dicionário: anoraque e blusão. Blusão parece ser muito vago; não dá a ideia de que é para o vento. Quanto a "anoraque", não me parece que seja o mesmo que "windbreaker": http://desviantes.com.br/blog/post/o-que-e-um-anorak-ou-anor... Tenho um "windbreaker" e ele é bem fino, comparado com um anoraque. O que os colegas sugerem? Algum termo mais preciso em PT-Br?

jaqueta de nylon


Explanation:
Tanto jaqueta corta vento quanto jaqueta windbreaker são usados, se você tiver liberdade poderia deixar no original windbreaker mesmo.
Outra sugestão seria jaqueta de nylon, pois quase sempre essa jaqueta é feita desse material.
