For when a base layer and a tee isn\u2019t enough, a lightweight water-resistant running jacket can be a saviour of your off-season run training. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Given many on test here will tackle the rain, wind and even the cold, a well-chosen jacket can also provide the pathway to a massive mental surge for your mid-winter psychology. <\/span><\/p>\n

Escaping the sofa and Loose Women (sorry, working from home) for log leaping, puddle prancing <\/span>and ditch dodging <\/span>will reaffirm that love of outdoor exercise and will provide a welcome boost to those flagging vit-D levels (research increasingly suggests levels of the latter may help to prevent Covid).<\/span><\/p>\n

The eight jackets here feature water-resistant and lightweight windproofers, the most versatile of run jackets but not for sub-zero conditions.<\/p>\n
When picking your garment of choice, think about the conditions you\u2019ll be using it in. Is it for mountain running, city loops or rural lanes? Night or day?<\/p>\n
We use these jackets for anything lower than 10\u00b0C. They\u2019re also far better at thwarting wind and rain chills than a base layer and run tee combo. <\/span><\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the hi-vis aspects are a smart safety addition, and the pocket(s) will ensure you can comfortably carry your phone, a key and gels.<\/span><\/p>\n
While most here stretch over \u00a3100, we\u2019ve used our own run jackets for many seasons and some will easily double as casual wear, so having something that looks good in both the trails and the tavern is an added bonus.<\/span><\/p>\n
