Waterproof vs. water-resistant
- A waterproof jacket keeps out hard, driving rain
- A water-resistant jacket can handle light rain for a brief time and is more breathable
Windproof vs. wind-resistant
- Any waterproof jacket is also windproof to shield you in stormy weather
- A wind-resistant jacket will offer much lighter protection
Hard shell vs. soft shell
Like a waterproof and windproof rain jacket, a hard shell will offer the most protection, but less breathability than a soft shell.
Do you need insulation?
For very cold rainy weather, consider an insulated shell, which will have down or synthetic fill for warmth while being waterproof and windproof.
Proper care is key to performance
Every rain jacket or rain pant needs regular maintenance to keep on keeping you dry, so follow care instructions to keep yours lasting.

Where do you plan to run?
- Road or track: Lighter shoes for speed, more cushioned shoes for distance
- Gravel paths: Hybrid shoes, designed for both road and trail
Cushion comes down to "feel" vs. "float"
- Minimal and barefoot cushioning: little to no padding, more groundfeel
- Moderate cushioning: more traditional ride
- Maximum cushioning: softest, bounciest ride
What kind of support do you need?
Depending on your gait, you may need a stability shoe. But most runners will fare well with a neutral shoe.
Make sure the shoe fits.
No breaking in periods, period! Your shoe should fit well from the get go.
