10 Reviews: Best Rain Jackets for Running (Apr 2024)

There are reflective strips on this jacket. The inner fabric so smooth, it will not cause skin allergies. Super light and provides high protection from the rain. As for the concern of your items, there is a hidden back pocket, you may put your keys or favorite iPod into it. Elastic and quite roomy but not baggy. Great for running.

Great jacket for the price, keeps out the wind perfectly and good vent and pocket in the back. Makes me feel safer knowing its so visible and has reflective strips. Good quality zips and like the soft feel around the neck.
Cycling in the dawn 8° and it metros the chill out until I warm up.

This serves pleasantly well coverage for running during the rainy season. It is very light. Best buying to help you stay completely dry. And if you wish to dismiss it as sudden as the rain stops, you can fold it and store it into your daypack or backpack which means, this is super easy to handle. Fast dry and comfortable to wear.

I got this jacket because I needed a lightweight rain jacket to use while running. It is very lightweight and has nice zippers. While I haven’t had rain yet to try out how it does in the rain, I did however use it on a very cold windy day. The jacket did really well breaking the wind and keeping me warm. I was very pleased with the purchase and thought it was an excellent value. If you are looking for a heavier rain jacket you may want to opt for something else, but it works great for my purpose to use while running.

It is suggested to wear an active fit outwear on your fierce moves like when you do your running training. As for this jacket, it is tight and there is a thermal technology that effectively keeps your body warm on wet weather. The elastic cuffs to keep you chill out.

This is a great coat for cold weather riding. I've been out in 20 degree weather and it kept me warm with just a tshirt on underneath it. It doesn't breathe very well, so it traps all of your body heat and perspiration inside. For rides above 40degrees it can actually get too warm. The fit is pretty spot on. It is surprisingly light and thin for how warm it keeps me. The fabric is also very stretchy so it has extra room if you need it. Another nice feature is the sleeves have an elastic cuff to seal around your gloves. Overall a spectacular jacket for the price.

This is another awesome reflective rain jacket. The sparkling effect making you look glamour and stunning. As for the breathability, it has 6 vent holes to let air-flow in a good state, to forestall heat and the damp feeling. And if you feel like to bring along your keys or other valuable things, there are three pockets embedded in it.

It's a quality jacket. The material is really cool, it looks cool. It's very reflective so you can easily be seen when you're doing outdoor activities. The only thing I dislike is that it is a bit heavy. Which is great if it's cold out. It will be my go to jacket for chilly/rainy/snowy runs. It would be great for winter activities (skiing/snowboarding shell). I rolled it up and attached it to my pack when I was out on a long run last weekend. The weight caused bruising on my lower back. So I wouldn't recommend this as a pack-able lightweight jacket for 20+mi runs. It is great however for cold runs in which you'll be wearing the jacket for the entirety of your activity.

When you do your wide range movements such as running, you tend to get sweaty all over. So, you need a jacket that will prevent those troubles step in your running process. It has great breathability under the arms and on the back, it will let loose your sweet escape and you will stay dry and fresh underneath.

Bought this jacket for my nephew as a running jacket. He loved it. We were both pleased with how well the jacket is made. The material is lightweight, but feels thick at the same time. He prefers roomier running gear and this jacket fits the bill. It has two elastic gathered pockets in the rear. He also liked the length in the back for extra coverage. My nephew has declared that this jacket will prove to be one of his go-to pieces on those cold Maryland winter days.

This one is suitable for someone who likes to travel and wander around. It is packable, you can take it off as the rain stops pouring as well as you can put it on as fast as when the rain is coming. Waterproof works well under the rain. You can enjoy your daily running with this.

Before heading to Italy I saw that it was going to be rainy so I purchased this raincoat. I was a little worried it wouldn’t be waterproof or look cheap due to some of the other reviews but I wore it almost daily when needed and then was able to pack it away in my messenger style bag when it wasn’t needed. Everyone else had to lug around coats but I’d just pull mine out when I needed it and roll it up and put it away when i didn’t. It fit nicely and has the draw strings under the bust to make it look more form fitting. I am very happy with my purchase.

This has such a pretty color that will light up your trail mood. It is waterproof and the inner lining made of breathable material. Worry not getting sweaty and sticky. The price is very reasonable, yet it still provides great protection from the rain. Go running and enjoy the drizzly days.

I was looking for a good, nice, cheap windbreaker and I think I got it right.
Quality is joma, that is good.
Product I would recommend without hesitation.

Do you fancy shining and shimmering rain jacket? This one will be your best pick. The color is dazzling and so bright, great to wear on your run in poor light management. Not to forget, it is also showerproof. Enjoy the night jogging with this awesome rain jacket!

I love the jacket. It is extremely reflective and seem like it is really good quality. It’s a bit weird that the zipper can go all the way up to the top of the hood because you cannot see through the jacket.

If you wish to have a rain jacket with cool colorings, like two to three colors at the same jacket, this is yours to keep. It is waterproof to block streamline down to your body, but also breathable to smoothen the air circulation within your body, so you won’t damp and swamp and feel hot when you do your acid running.

Very light fabric, not sure how long it will last but it is what I wanted. Windproof, check. Waterproof, so far, check. Light weight/packable, check. Breathable, inner mesh helps with perspiration, check.

One of the fun parts of this rain jacket is you can remove the sleeve to make it as a vent. So, it is suitable for summer and cold weather. The bright and reflective color will keep you safe when you run in poorly light areas. And worry not, this is light in weight. You also can lug it on your backpack pocket. Practical and handful.

I've only run twice in the rain with this jacket and it worked well both times. For the price it's hard to beat this jacket. There is no liner or insulation so here in Chicago I need to wear a long sleeve running shirt (or 2) under the jacket to keep the cold out.
