I have a spring-coat-shaped hole in my life

I'm after something very lightweight that can be chucked on when there's just a bit of a nip in the air, especially when leaving for work early but expected to warm up as the day wears on. Doesn't need to be smart particularly.

I've been using my old Uniqlo Blocktech grey raincoat for the purpose thus far, but I'd like something a bit more springy.

Anyone own or seen anything good along these lines?

I like the technical windbreaker look !
There's quiet a few about with funnel necks or denim coats camo coat trench coat 🧥 I have an abundance of lightweight jackets and they go with everything x

I should have said I'd had something knee length in mind to go with summer dresses - part of the problem I have with my lighter coats is they seem to be predominantly mid-thigh length, and I do hate the skirt-longer-than-coat look. But maybe waist length would also overcome that. I have a cropped denim jacket that I usually wear for this purpose but a looser one might do the job better.

GirlWithAVibe I'm not familiar with a technical windbreaker! Got any examples?
