Lightest jacket in the world

What jackets are out there that provide 0 warmth or protection from the elements , breathable etc Something you can wear on a really hot day for layering purposes DO NOT SAY LINEN Also prefer if it’s not sheer/see through This is more of a thought experiment so no budget I guess

This is actually not a terrible option because it has a bit of structure, unlike a lot of truly sheer fabrics Yes excellent this is exactly the genre of thing I was envisioning

Snow Peak and South2 West8 do these. They’re still kind of sheer but the patterned ones add some interest

Not a jacket, but I have a shirt from Folk that feels paper thin and breathable due to its extremely loose weave. It's not see through because of the coloring.

not really this is sort of a explore what’s out there measure, first thing that came to mind was mosquito net jackets but I’m looking for something that reads more “normal”/wearable
