In the winter, having the best running jacket for men or women is vital. We look at the features to look for, from waterproof to reflective and lightweight.

Waterproof running jacket

Your mens running jacket should be waterproof (or at least water resistant) to keep you dry and comfortable during bad weather. They say there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes, and this is absolutely right when it comes to winter training. Make sure that your waterproof running jacket has you prepared for whatever the weather might throw at you during the winter months. This includes being windproof as having a windproof running jacket could be the difference between a bad run and a good one.

Winter running jacket

When it comes to activewear for winter running, a reflective winter running jacket should be a staple of your wardrobe. Being visible in low light could literally save your life, so make sure that you wear sportswear for men that has reflective trims to make sure people can see you when you're out.

You also want your winter running jacket to have pockets for valuables including your phone and keys so that you can have peace of mind while you're out there training. 

Lightweight running gear

In the winter, it can be tempting to throw on as many clothes as possible and opt for heavy, cotton running clothes in order to stay warm. However, the real trick is to wear lightweight mens running clothes in layers so that you can take them off and put them back on as and when you need. The Sundried Grand Casse running jacket folds away into its own bag so you can stow it away when you don't need it, or even clip it to your bike, for ultimate convenience. It is made from 100% recycled materials which provide superior technical qualities, including sweat-wicking, so you won't end up too hot or sweaty while you train. Wear over a running vest for exceptional comfort and perfect temperature control.

As well as a good running jacket, your lightweight running gear for winter should include a great pair of men's running leggings. Opt for seamless running leggings to prevent chafing and wear under gym shorts for added coverage and protection.
