Consider your local weather and running preferences. For heavy rain, choose a fully waterproof jacket with a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm or higher. For cold, windy days, opt for a windproof or insulated jacket. Prioritise breathability, adjustable hoods, and reflective details for safety and comfort.

Yes, many top jackets feature advanced breathability ratings (like MVTR or RET) and venting panels to prevent overheating, even during intense efforts. Look for lightweight designs with mesh panels or 360-degree venting for optimal airflow—important for staying dry inside and out.

Key features include adjustable hoods, elastic or adjustable cuffs, secure zip pockets, and reflective trims for visibility. Packability is also important—a good running jacket or gilet should be lightweight and easy to stash in your vest or pack when not needed.

Yes, there are options for every season: lightweight, breathable jackets for spring and summer showers; insulated or windproof jackets for winter; and packable gilets for unpredictable, in-between weather. Having a selection ensures you’re prepared for changing conditions year-round.

Reflective strips and trims enhance your visibility in low-light or night-time conditions, keeping you safer on early morning or evening runs. High-visibility colours and reflective logos further improve your presence on the road, especially in poor weather or during darker months.
