The best running jackets for this winter

Depending on the area where we practice running, a first coat may not be enough on cold winter days and that's when a running jacket can become a perfect complement. If in addition that jacket is a windbreaker jacket, it keeps you warm inside and dry, better than better.

In recent years, the main textile brands of running have included major improvements in running windbreakers making them so light that they are almost imperceptible, and equipped with technologies that allow running comfortably protected from the cold and even wind and rain. 

Not to mention the latest advances in breathability that allow sweat to be effectively evacuated, keeping the body dry and warm.

Among the advances that the market presents this winter 2017-2018, also stands out the comfort of use and transport, since most of advances have been aimed at designing more comfortable hoods and jackets that can be folded and stored in a pocket.

Then, five stores specialized in running bring us the best proposals of running jackets for this season.

Puma Running Packable Wind Jacket


PUMA RUNNING PACKABLE WIND (recommended pvp of 89.95 euros)



To run this winter I would recommend wearing a T-shirt and a windbreaker as a jacket. The windbreaker is a garment that is increasingly taken into account and is very practical for the many options of use it has, and not just for running. Although we must always differentiate windproof raincoats, which is not the same.



On the novelties of this winter, I would highlight the windbreaker of Puma Running Packable Wind
, a garment with a good value for money and with a very economical price, over 80 euros. This model incorporates visible cap, which is easier to use than if it is hidden in a zipper;


In addition the garment is collected in a pocket and can be worn hanging on the wrist. Another aspect that I consider positive is that it has back pockets and also front pockets. As for the properties, it completely cuts the wind, breathes well and is reflective.



Another option would be the jackets of the brand La Sportiva , which are high-end but you can find some models from 95 euros.


UNDER ARMOR STORM (recommended pvp of 70 euros)



This winter there is no great news in regard to running jackets and brands are still focused on improving the breathability and lightness of these garments. 



Of the proposals that are in the market, I would stay with the sweatshirts with Storm technology of the Under Armor brand, which you can find at prices from 60 and 70 euros and that respond well to rain and wind.



With a slightly higher price, over 80 euros, we can find Adidas windbreakers and jackets with Gore-Tex technology and Windstopper that I personally recommend because they have very large hoods that cover up the nose, and are very functional jackets, you can give several uses.

For light rain, I would recommend the New Balance Windcheater , with a pvp of 70 euros, very breathable, reflective and with hood.



And in a range of lower prices still, about 50 euros, you can also find correct jackets of the brands Puma and Scott .


GORE-TEX ONE (recommended pvp of 280 euros)


If you want a windproof and waterproof jacket, I'd Gore

One of Gore-Tex , which is the first brand jacket Gore-tex including hood, besides being spectacularly light, have 20,000 mm water column and very correct aesthetics. 


Not to mention the Gore-Tex membrane, the most used in the market.



At a more affordable price, over 145 euros, we find the Waterproof Mizuno line , with adjustable hoods, very light and also 20,000 mm of water column. Or the non-waterproof windbreak Salomon Essential , 139 euros, which is also a very good option.



SALOMON BONATTI



(recommended pvp 160 euros)

Recommendation of the Twinner Fanàtik store

Undoubtedly, for runners who need a jacket for winter I would recommend a classic of all seasons, the Salomon Bonatti jacket. 


A model with 10,000 mm of water column, comfortable, breathable, including membrane but still very light and has a medium fit that gives freedom of movement, not being too tight or too loose.

 In addition, its design allows you to wear it while you run and also as a complement to dress.






UNDER ARMOR COLDGEAR INFRARED

(recommended pvp of 90 euros)

At the technological level, all the brands are working very well and present good proposals, but when it comes to running jackets for autumn-winter, I would especially highlight Under Armor clothing. And within this brand, the ColdGear Infrared model jacket that is super light, retains body heat and is very practical. 


Another proposal to take into account is the Asics Atlantic Blue hybrid jacket and, in general, the jackets of the brands Saucony , Mizuno and Diadora.
