Warmer weather jacket

Anyone got any recommendations for a jacket for those warmer days - my insulated one is often too hot for me. Mostly lift accessed pistes/parks and some off piste skiing in the French Alps - so doesn't have to be massively technical.
Kind of like the look of the anarok over the head styles.
I'm currently used to wearing hoodies but would want more versatility for layering.
Cheers Rich

For warmer days, I used to rock a hoodie or a flannel. Shell jackets are awesome but not sure how much money you want to spend... I’ve been using a North Face rain jacket that’s more like an anorak (no full zipper, pull over the head) when I need something a little more waterproof

I have a north face Silvani anorak it’s good in kinda medium temps like 20-40 Fahrenheit but I’d recommend for warm weather just go thrifting it’s not hard to find a nice vintage anorak one at most places if u look.

Warmer days where my insulated jacket is too much, but where I need a bit of windproofing and the additional back up of a bit of waterproofing incase I get caught in something and where I can layer up if needed. A bit longer in the back than some is always nice for lifts and falls.

went for the Harlaut anorak in white, turned up today - it's perfect and looks brilliant - no doubt that means we'll have the coldest winter in years.
