Looking for a fall jacket or pullover to run in during fall's cold, rainy days. Something that will keep me mostly dry and warm, but breathe a bit as well. Anyone have a recommendation? Or even a recommendation against something that didn't work out for you? Thanks!

I have an older version of this jacket...it is excellent--breathes, but water beads off of it: Mizuno Rebel

I have a neon yellow nike pullover that works pretty well, and is VERY visible to cars. Not sure exactly what it is called, though.

Embrace the weather. Run wet in the rain. Run cold in the snow. Wear gloves. But don't hide from the elements, flow into them...

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Nothing will really keep you dry while running in the rain. I have a DryRoad jacket that I bought from Road Runner about 5 years ago on the clearance rack for like $50. It's pretty bullet proof and I've used it down to sub-zero temps and in cold, hard rain (like 34F and raining/sleeting). That's pretty good and keeps me warm. You still get soaked though, both from sweat not really avaporating in the rain, and from water dripping down the neck hole etc. If it's fall temps (40-50F) and raining I usually just wear a yellow brooks vest to keep my core warm, and a hat with visor to keep the rain out of my eyes.

Any nylon jacket, even a hand-me-down or one from a thrift store, works good if you spray it with Camp Dry.

Speed my steps along your path, according to your will.

I've seen these - only jacket I've seen with an all mesh back - but water resistant in the front craft
