January 20, 2012By Kevin MackinnonRunning Jackets:
Available in men's and women's styles, this water- and wind-resistant jacket will keep you comfortable and ready to brave the elements day or night and even has line sleeves for extra warmth. It's visible from every angle thanks to the Scotchlite reflective trim. The 360 Degree also offers side zip pockets for secure storage.
This waterproof and windproof jacket keeps the elements at bay thanks to the sealed seams, but still provides lots of breathability through strategically placed vents. The protective wind panel will keep you warm and there's a zippered compartment for valuables along with secure side and chest pockets, too. The cord lock hem system adds to the protection and adjustability.
This lightweight jacket uses Gore Windstopper fabric to keep out the elements, while ClimaCool ventilation manages heat and sweat. The jacket is designed to move with you, enhancing the comfort while you're out running. It's miCoach compatible so there are channels to route your headphone cable through, along with two front zippered pockets and a stand up collar with stay-down zipper pull.
For the coldest of winter runs or hikes, the Cairn full-zip fleece is hard to be beat when it comes to warmth. The Merrell Conductor stretch fleece is extremely comfortable, while also providing versatile heat retention in different conditions. There's a hidden thumb loop to keep the sleeves down when the temperature drops and the zippered chest and hand pockets provide lots of storage.
