The Fujitrail has a lot going for it, which is ultimately no surprise given Asics\u2019 pedigree.<\/strong><\/p>

And while weather resistance is normally top of the list in terms of desired criteria, it\u2019s the many features on offer here that makes this a particularly good offering.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

How does it fit?<\/strong><\/h2>

For a start, the elasticated cuffs fit closely around the wrist and do a good job of stopping wind or rain from squeezing in, while there are also elasticated loops for you to pop your thumbs through. This allows you to keep the cuffs in place and stop them from riding up.<\/p>

There\u2019s also an adjustment point on each side of the waist that enables you to cinch it in closely and this is certainly needed, as the jacket feels particularly wide and roomy.<\/p>

Cinching it in at the bottom helps deal with this, but the jacket\u2019s excess fabric does still catch the wind somewhat, which can be a pain if you\u2019re running straight into a breeze.<\/p>

On this, it\u2019s worth noting that Asics does say that the Fujitrail can be worn over a running backpack<\/a><\/strong>, so it\u2019s likely that the wide fit is intentional. Either way, I\u2019d suggest trying this on before buying to ensure you\u2019re happy with it.<\/p>

What other features does the Asics Fujitrail have?<\/strong><\/h2>

Another key feature is the hood. As with the best running jackets<\/a><\/strong>, the Fujitrail has three adjustment points on the hood, which allow you to get a secure fit. This means there\u2019s no flapping in the wind and there\u2019s no impeded vision when looking around.<\/p>

However, one thing to note, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on preference, is that the hood doesn\u2019t offer coverage around the cheeks and lower part of the face, leaving those areas exposed to the elements.<\/p>

There is, however, a good seal around your face to reduce the risk of rain getting inside and down your neck.<\/p>

The press stud located behind the main zip is one of this tester’s favourite features…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>
