Running Jackets
Look for a hydrostatic head rating ≥10,000mm and MVTR ≥10,000g/m²/24hr for rain protection and breathability. Prioritise taped seams, adjustable cuffs, and articulated sleeves for running mobility. Consider packable designs for emergency use during variable weather.
Running jackets balance windproofing with strategic venting (pit zips/laser-cut perforations) to manage sweat during high-intensity activity. Slim-fit designs reduce fabric flapping while reflective details enhance low-light visibility.
While lightweight, running jackets lack reinforced shoulder panels for backpack straps and often have smaller pockets. They’re ideal for fastpacking but may lack insulation layering space for alpine conditions.
Opt for thermal-lined jackets with windproof membranes and moisture-wicking liners. Seek thumbhole cuffs and adjustable storm hoods for temperature regulation. Layer with merino base layers for sub-zero runs.
Modern recycled nylon/polyester jackets match conventional performance. Look for bluesign® certification and PFC-free DWR treatments.
