TEST: We found the best jackets for this weather<

In today's review we will introduce a large range of cross -country jackets from the brands, which will find the Czech runner most often.The primary requirements that we chose the individual jackets was the lowest possible weight, the best packaging and high breathability.

Why did we focus on these parameters is obvious.To make a running jacket well, it must not be too robust and airtight not to sweat underneath it and to make excess heat leave away from the body.The jacket is also often used as a backup piece of clothing that remains in the backpack until its moment comes, and backpacks used for running usually have a very limited volume, so emphasis on packagibility.

We got jackets from several different materials in the selection.The first will be the windproof membrane GORE WINDSTOPPER, which will not flow under any circumstances and thanks to its design also provides limited protection against water.The disadvantage may be a higher weight and worse breathability.

If you prefer water resistance, you will be more interested in GORE-TEX ACTIVE membrane material providing virtually unlimited water resistance at the cost of low breathability and higher weight.

Another widely used mterial is Pertex, which appears in the test in various variants from the lightest pertex quantum characteristic solid wind resistance and maximum packaging to the more robust PERTEX Shield+ with a water column of 20,000 mm comparable to the quality membrane.

GORE X-RUN Ultra Windstopper Soft Shell Light Jacket

Storage is not the domain of this jacket, but again it is no ultra gallop and it can fit in a running backpack, although some place takes up.Its strengths are just elsewhere.It's a Windstopper membrane that makes this jacket a partner in really difficult weather.The membrane not only resists the wind perfectly, but is also perfectly breathable, so you do not feel like a dumpling in the steam.In addition, it can withstand water for some time, so it is very useful for the paddocks in more demanding and colder weather.You will appreciate this jacket especially in colder weather.

The processing is as we are used to Gore, first -class.The jacket perfectly encircles the body and does not rake when running with a backpack, does not.At the end of the sleeves there are cuffs that can be rotated and used as gloves.One who has longer fingers but will certainly appreciate the classic gloves because the fingers are slightly twisted in them.The bottom of the jacket has a reflective lane.X-Run from Gore has no need for pockets.One is on the chest and two are classic, one of which has a sewn pocket smaller, Gore has prepared a surprise in the form of a running headband.The jacket does not have a hood but fastening to the neck sits well, not strangling.

TILAK ATTACK Active

Tilak is a Czech company based in Šumperk producing top outdoor equipment.For running purposes we have selected the waterproof Attack Active jacket with the lightest waterproof Gore-Tex membrane.Even so, it is the most robust material tested that you will appreciate in the most demanding conditions, if you do not attach to absolutely minimalist weight.

Low temperature and intense sleeve is exactly the environment where Attack Active feels at home.Inside this jacket you stay dry and comfort throughout the day.If the temperature rises higher or increases the intensity of training, the membrane is no longer able to breathe ideally and one is overheating inside the jacket.The outdoor base is evident not only in a more robust design, but also in other used elements such as longer and loose cut, hood with peak and high collar protecting the neck and lower face against bad weather.

Salomon Fast Wing

Alter ego tilac could be a fast wing from salomon that has its positives especially in maximum possible packaging associated with minimal necessary protection against bad weather.Salomon is betting on its own solution and so we do not meet any generally used membrane or other material.Type is fast wing similar to jackets from pertex quantum.

Fast Wing is packed up in your own pocket and is made of the thinnest material you can imagine.You can rely on solid windproofness and very good breathability.Water protection would be looking in vain.It is impossible to say that a fast wing druokl on the impact of the first drop, but still its strengths elsewhere.

It is an ideal backup jacket in warmer weather, when the jacket rests in a backpack or kidney, does not take up more or less no space and only travels if the weather spoils.

Montane minimus jacket

For me personally, Tahl Ebunda is an excellent universal companion not only for running but also for trekking, bike or other activity in nature.The jacket is lightweight, very well packed thanks to the material used, just does not get breath and breathes quite well.But if you take it on your paddock when temperatures go upwards, be aware that it starts to catch light and you bring home damp lower clothes.

On the other hand, Montane Minus Jacket is exactly the jacket you can still wear, both in sports and even the city.It fits perfectly and is the right, tireless helper that is not afraid of any challenges and something lasts.

Personally, I finally appreciate the hood that does not fall in my face because thanks to the memory wire in the hem holds great on my head.You can also packed the hood with Velcro tape and she then does not sund you anywhere.The jacket has reflective elements and in a spacious breast pocket, where there is a key clip, you will find a package bag.ZIPS are waterproof.Montane mnimus jacket is definitely one of the most versatile jackets.

Puma Pure Nightcat Reflective Running Jacket

Puma bet on its running jacket Pure Nightcat, as the name suggests, on a simple construction and distinctive reflective elements.Nightcat is a product on the interface of casual wear and sport.On the one hand, you will not be ashamed of the appearance of this jacket even when wearing around the city and on the other will hold you even with slightly worse weather.But for extreme conditions, it certainly is not.

The biggest positive is undoubtedly reflective elements covering the entire jacket area, which makes you virtually unmistakable even with worse visibility.We do not meet any membrane or other similar technology either here.The water resistance is provided by the coating material and the optimum breathability of the laser carved holes in the middle part of the back and mesh breathable panels in the armpits.

To be sufficiently visible during night traffic or looking for a universal jacket for sport and normal wear, Puma Pure Nightcat will be a hot candidate.

Bergans Microlight anorak

This jacket is not typically running, is simply multisport.And so is suitable for running.Compared to others, it is so different that it will be appreciated by those who are looking for something absolutely different.It only differs in that it is threading over the head, which may not be completely comfortable every time, but behind a touch of retro style it just stands.You feel like your 80 teacher.flight.Unlike the material of that time, this works much differently and better.The jacket is not only very well -resistant, but can also cope with light rain.If currents are rolling out of the sky, but be aware that especially in the shoulder area there will be soaked for some time.On the contrary, I appreciate her breathability.After several enclosures I have never seen a feeling of someone who spent some time in the laundry room.

The jacket is lightweight so you don't even feel it in your backpack.Bergans Microlight Anorak is also suitable for casual wear around the city.

Adidas supernova gore windstopper jacket

Adidas offers another of the representatives of the membrane windstopper jackets.The Supernova product line has always been one of those focused on maximum comfort and good life at the cost of higher weight.Supernova Gore Jacket is no exception.The windproof membrane is lined with another, to the touch with a pleasant fabric that makes the jacket predestine for use only in the winter months.To run in the summer is simply too robust and insulated.

The thermal insulation is placed at all emphasis at all, in the construction we find no ventilation panels or cross -sections.The jacket will be all the better in freezing weather.Of course there are reflective elements on the front and on the sleeves.

Craft Elite Weather

Craft jacket is primarily to colder temperatures.Has a Ventair membrane, making it predetermined to really unfavorable conditions.At temperatures below zero you will feel very comfortable with one or two layers of functional linen.It is a holder that deserves uncompromising treatment.In fact, just put two thinner layers under it and you don't have to worry about the temperatures considerably below zer.

Craft Elite Weather has ventilation panels around the perimeter so you will not sweat.The jacket is equipped with a silicone print that prevents the rolling out.The hood can be pulled not only in a classic way we are used to but also the back of.You can rolled it very quickly using a tape and a stud.Sleeves can be extended.

The Craft Elite Weather jacket fits you as you whistle, you don't feel cramped in it.You can rinse your hands as angry and nothing is raised nowhere.I consider the lack of pockets as a small minus.Although he has one smaller side and one tiny breast, but that on the upper jacket seems to me somewhat little.

Inov-8 Race Elite 105

Ideal backup jacket for both shorter and longer runs.Thanks to the material used you can pack it and put it in the back pocket of the Esťáci.It's just a light -legged athlete, a cobweb that you carry with you.The jacket is windproof in terms of rain, again so glory is not.The jacket has a DWR coating, but it is over time opere and is after protection.On the other hand, you don't sweat in the jacket and is very airy.

The Inov-8 jacket has holes on your thumb at the end of the sleeves so if you get cold, you can hide the palms comfortably.You will find a pocket only one breast that has a headphone cable opening.I was very grateful to acknowledge the collar that is on the inner part of Microfleec, which is pleasant especially for those who have a beard.It's a great backup helper for a sport you won't know at all.

Peak Performance Hicks

White is not entirely the color you will see on the runners.Maybe it's a shame because it has something in itself.If you decide to do it, think that it fits elegance, ie the graceful movement of the owner.

The good news is that Hicks is great for wearing in the city.In terms of functionality, the windbreaker can withstand a light rain and the wind will stand very well.Breathability is good, so forget the sweaty laundry.The pocket is large enough and fits without any problems with handkerchiefs, gloves or cell phone.So if you are a runner elegance, this is exactly for you.The functionality is no worse than similar products of other brands.Processing is first -class, only the price is worse.
