Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced runner, you’re going to sweat when running. Good running jackets will not only protect you from the elements but also help you shed extra heat and moisture.
Lack of breathability in a jacket might cause it to feel like a damp, swampy plastic bag. In contrast, running jackets with breathable materials, zippered vents, or mesh panels efficiently wick moisture away.
Recently, when I asked what gear you really wanted to know about, I was surprised that what’s the best running jacket was the top question. Testing out gear is something I actually really enjoy. It’s an excuse to go for a run as part of my job, I mean really…how is that so hard?
But jackets meant, I was going to get to run in a variety of conditions. Bring on the snow, the rain, the wind, I shall fear thee not with my new gear.
Over the last few years, I’ve pulled on a lot of jackets and gone for a run.
✅HINT: I LOVED all of these, but if I had to spend my money on just one, you’ll see it below.
The results below are jackets for a wide variety of situations that I would absolutely recommend. There were others tested that simply aren’t included here because they didn’t perform as well or better than the one’s I’ve listed.
