This stylish jacket is light enough to wear on a warm day but warm enough to wear in chillier weather over layers, and thanks to the wind and water resistant DriLayer, you need not worry about those unexpected downpours. If you decide mid run you don’t need a jacket at all, you can pack it up into its very own mesh pouch that includes straps so you can wear it like a backpack – genius! The addition of the ruched sleeves, ample pockets and reflective detail are icing on the cake. It’s a purchase you’re unlikely to regret.
