- Q What features should I look for in a running jacket?
- A There are plenty of different running jackets on the market. Some of these are simply shower- and windproof, while others offer total weather protection and/or breathability to allow perspiration to pass through the jacket fabric for evaporation while keeping rain out. When looking to buy a running jacket, decide whether you require all-weather protection or just a light cagoule-type garment for warming up in. After that, the features to look for are: Taped seams (to prevent rain penetrating the stitching) Covered mesh vents at key heat-generating areas such as the armpits and back (to improve evaporation) 360-degree reflectivity (for night-time safety) Pockets Quiet fabric. A constant scraping sound as your arms move backwards and forwards can be extremely irritating after a few miles! Foldaway hood (for those real downpours) Close-fitting cuffs (to prevent water from seeping up your wrist).
