Weatherproof running jacket (Read 187 times)

I really love this jacket I use for the last 2 years - it's very light and really waterproof. - Marmot jacket

Thanks for the feedback.  Maybe leaning towards the Marmot PreCip.

 

Anyone else have a jacket they love?

Not insulated.

water proof. I've run in rain with it and the only reason I was wet was sweating.

I bought this FOR running and it works as a good daily use jacket if all you want is an outer waterproof shell. No insulation so it's a little easier to adjust my layers and the velcro wrists can be adjusted as tight, or loose, as you want.

I have the Canopy jacket and can solidly say it's at best water "resistant". I've been soaked in fairly light rain during runs in it before and wound up wishing I had worn something waterproof. It is my usual go-to for temps in the 25-35* range with winds below maybe 15*. YMMV.

The Gore R7 is currently out of your budget but has been going on sale for 25-50% off intermittently. Completely wind and water proof and feels light enough that it could be made out of tissue paper. This on is my absolute go-to for rain under 40* or for very heavy winds in cooler temps.

 

Thanks.  So what cycling jacket do you have or recommend?

Mine is made by Sugoi - I would think that many brands would work.

Thanks everyone for the input.  Picked up a Marmot Precip 2 Eco today at a local retailer for $79.95 there are some colors available directly from Marmot right now for as low as $60.  I went with a medium although the small fit nicely.  I was worried the small would be too tight in the shoulders with another layer on beneath.  I'm 5'7" 148lb and I guess somewhere between 38-40 inch chest.

I tried on the North Face Resolve 2 at Dicks.  It was OK but seemed a little rigid and the cuffs are elastic, not velcro.  Marmot Precip felt lighter and better constructed for my uses.  Ran in it this afternoon in some decent winds at 38 degrees or so and it felt great!  Couldn't really open the pit zippers while on the run but overall very satisfied.

Thanks again!

I've recently purchased weatherproof running jacket from mesheble. I used amazon coupon code off anything to get special discount on it. This store has an exclusive collection of different types of jackets. If you really wanna buy it check this store once!

I'd also recommend a cycling jacket.  I have one made by Showers Pass.  They are in Washington so know a bit about rain.  I wore it for Boston 2015 in mid 30s near constant rain.  I was wet from sweating under it, but not from rain.  Bought it on clearance at a cycling store outside of Boston.

Not related to jackets, but there was no 30s weather with constant rain during Boston 2015 - I ran it, so, I know. There was an occasional rain, there was some very strong wind at some parts of the course, it felt pretty cold at the finish because of runners' shirts were wet and it was relatively windy, but the temps were still in the mid 40s...
