These jackets offer no excuses to stay inside. Some are extremely light, pack in their own little bag and can go with you everywhere thanks to modern day fabric technology. Some are a little bit heavier and will work equally well whether running or hiking.
There are jackets here that are more of an investment than others, but the most important thing is that they’ll keep you dry whatever the weather and if you’re a regular runner or walker outside it’s worth investing that little bit more. The best jackets will last for many years.
