Best women’s running jackets to keep out the wind and rain

English weather calls for layers, and lots of them - because on a typical day you’re bound to encounter rain, sun, wind and maybe even hail or sleet (if you’re lucky). So when you head out for a run, whether it is a 5K or marathon training it’s essential to have a running jacket to hand.

A good running jacket will be stylish enough to go from run to brunch, but also packed with enough technology to keep you warm as you step out for your weekly 10K. No one wants to add an extra layer that will slow them down, especially if you’re on track to beat your PB, so the more lightweight the better, while ventilation and sweat wicking material are also a must.
