One of the only lightweight running jackets I’ve tried that didn’t feel like wearing a trash bag. Great breathability and the hood is great for keeping the wind out of my ears and neck. Sizing is great too, I’m 6’2” with broad shoulders and Medium fits perfectly.

Nice everyday running jacket, nothing fancy just does the job.
Good quality

Overall really satisfied with this product. The only issue I have is that the sizes may run a bit small. I ordered a medium (which is usually my size) but it is a bit short in the front. Also the jacket is a bit thin but is great for fall or spring running.
