This jacket keeps you dry in the rain while staying comfortable and breathable during a run
I’ve run in this jacket in the rain, and so far, I’m happy to report that I did not melt, drown, or turn into a sweaty mess. It’s waterproof, comfortable, and surprisingly breathable. The vents across the back and under the arms make a noticeable difference, and it actually feels pretty “airy” while running. Which is not a word I normally associate with rain jackets. The hood is probably my favorite feature. It fits well, even over a baseball cap, stays out of my face when I turn my head, and can be rolled up and tucked away when I don’t need it. There are also reflective details, zippered pockets, and it packs into its interior pocket for storage. Most importantly it keeps the rain out without making me feel like I’m running in a ziplock bag. Comfortable, good looking, and well made, and it dies what it’s supposed to do. I’m calling this one a winner.
Lightweight, breathable rain jacket is my new favorite piece of kit.
This jacket is extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. Even during a balmy summer rainstorm on the beach, the ventilation was excellent and prevented excess sweat and moisture buildup. The jacket is cut and fits well on my large frame. The numerous pockets are plentiful and zipper pulls were compact yet easy to use. This is going to be my go-to rain jacket for any occasion.
It's a lightweight comfortable rain jacket
I use this jacket for jogging and walks, not full blown running. So far I like it. It has a very large vent on the back to dump the heat, and it is a really light fabric that is flexible. The front does not have any dedicated vents, but you can leave the pockets unzipped or you can unzip the whole front and use the button to keep it on, but have full ventilation. If you use the button it will not be a great rain jacket though considering the whole front is open. I have other rain jackets that are very stiff, but this is flexible and comfortable. I've only worn it in light rain, but it kept my upper body dry. Something that I found unique is how the hood cinches on your head; it tightens around the outside circumference rather than like a traditional hoodie that tightens around the face, and it actually works well and it doesn't block your vision with the hood being pulled downward tightly. I am wearing a large in the picture and I'm 5'11". The only downside is the cuff around the wrists, it is not tight enough and it can't be tightened either. The sleeves are also a little long for my build in the large size. It's not a deal breaker, but I could see it getting in the way with my trekking poles when I go hiking. Overall I really like the jacket and it does everything it promises. I've only used it for about a month, but I've had no issues with it.
