Questions before you buy
The things runners actually ask us
Everything below is about this jacket specifically — how it fits, how it performs, and what to do if it isn't right for you.
No — and that's the point. This is a wind shell, not an insulating layer. It blocks the wind on top of whatever you're already wearing. Over a short-sleeve top on a mild evening, or over a long-sleeve layer when it drops toward freezing.
The woven nylon handles light drizzle and sheds a few drops, but it isn't waterproof and won't keep you dry in real rain. Treat it as a wind layer that copes with damp air, not a rain jacket.
It runs true to size, so take your usual size. It's cut to sit close without restricting, so you can layer a long-sleeve top underneath without going up.
No. It's cropped at the natural waist, so there's no fabric gathering under a belt or a running pack. The hem drawcord pulls it in so it doesn't balloon when the wind catches it, and the elasticated cuffs stay down over your wrists.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with the zip closed. No fabric softener and no tumble drying — both break down a nylon shell. Hang to dry; it dries fast.
Send them back within 30 days. Test them for real first – that's the only way to know.
