Mizuno 20k jacket is also an excellent option. 20,000 hydrostatic head, lightweight, strong chest pocket, packable and accepted at mandatory kit for almost all trail races.
RRP £140, but can be found for as cheap as £70.
A regularly updated jacket (much like the Brooks Canopy and NB Impact models). Older versions ncan be found too.
Harrier Exmoor & Dartmoor Waterproof Jackets. 89 Pounds. Bought it to run in the winter here in Canada, since it allows for wearing the jacket over or under a running vest. Since I was having terrible issues with my chest mounted soft flasks freezing solid. It's 15k water proof rating, and 15k breathable. It can get a bit warm on hard/long efforts. But it includes side vents and a press stud mid chest so you can wear it unzipped and not flap around. Lots of pockets, 2 side, 1 lower back and 1 breast pocket. And it rolls and clips around the waist, which allows the lower back pocket to turn into a belt pack. Also has a great hood, double chest zips to access both soft flasks when worn over the vest. And thumb loops, which I liked since I found the sleeves just slightly long. Can't recommend this enough.
Sounds excellent, thanks for flagging it up Tim!
This is the content I needed! I am in the market for a jacket. Perfect timing! Great video!
Thanks for the running jacket video.The weather is starting to warm up where I live in South East USA and from April through about Mid September I rarely where a jacket.Back in 2008 through about 2013 I bought too many jackets from thicker Asics shell jackets for cold weather and wind to lighter Saucony ,Adidas Nike and Brooks jackets.I probably have aboit 8 or 9 jackets that still work great even though newer models came out.Sometimes I might do something cooky just for fun like run in a Nike half zip nylon shirt and wear an old Army camo jacket over it for low 40,s mid 30's F for an easy laid back casual run just for the looks of it Running at an easy recovery pace I am not pushing the pace or heating up much so it doesn't matter for the mellow easy run and it would be nice if some running jackets had a wider variety of colors to pick from.But I know you can't expect much from a budget jacket.i use to really like a mid night blue color running jackets but sometimes this can be hard to find. If I see a nice running jacket I like I will buy it. Saucony had a real cool nice bright orange running jacket which had a small battery connected inside which would light up these L.E.D lights through the inside of the jacket.They were out of the large size fast but that was a cool jacket back in 2012 or 2013 that wish I bought.I think it was around 130 .US dollars back then.
"Thank you for all your nice videos.All you guys are great and have your own unique take on shoes jackets ect.. 🏃🌇Kalif
Thanks guys.
Love the New Balance jacket, just wish the hood was adjustable. If it is very windy is like a parachute over my head, but I suppose its good for resistance training!
Last week running in a hailstorm soaked to the skin I would have paid a lot of money for a cool and dry jacket. Now I am more rational and looking for something I can actually afford for those kinds of days (which I do love).
Higher State gear is top class! Not just top class value for money but top class - full stop! Bought one of their jackets recently; it does everything you want; waterproof, breathable, comfortable.
Higher State vests , shorts, tees etc are also top class. Who on earth would pay £40+ for a pair of shorts when you can get two vests and two pairs of race shorts for well under that price?
Thanks for this. Really helpful video. Have just ordered and Under Armour Out run the storm from their sale for £43 😀🤞
Great glad it was handy! That’s a bargain
Thx. What is the best higher state for breathability ?
Would any pass kit list , taped seams etc
What is the evadict jacket size?
Is the New Balance Impact jacket waterproof at all?
Unfortunately not, it's a very thin fabric with minimal waterproof protection.
Am I missing something these jackets are just windproof not waterproof? I wouldn't pay more than £20 for a windbreaker lol.
the evadict jackets are waterproof
eBay : where I get my Gore and Salomon running jackets for well under $20 apiece.
Ha ha …. 2:47. Minus zero. Is that different than plus zero? Seriously though, I have the NB and the zippers jam up constantly.
