Running Jackets

Running jackets are a good investment for any runner and are mainly used in the winter months. What a running jacket can offer is great visibility in low light conditions as well as protection from the elements, meaning you can go running whether its dark, wet, windy or just plain cold! It can be hard motivating yourself to run during the winter especially when you look outside and see the weather's against you. A running jacket will make that run so much more comfortable and help you to keep up the intensity of your training.

The level of how waterproof and warm a jacket is, varies depending on the quality of the materials used, this you can usually tell by the price. The cheaper jackets tend to be lightweight and will offer good visibilty, be windproof and only be showerproof. The more expensive jackets will again offer great visibility, but will be completely windproof, waterproof as well as being more breathable and a better fit.

Generally your body will heat up while you run, so a baselayer or a thermal top worn beneath a running jacket should be enough to keep dry and warm in the harshest conditions.
