A favorite for cold weather running

By Handyman Ranked #842 - Men's Softshell Jackets November 8, 2010

So far, my favorite jacket for winter running. I wear this in below freezing weather over a light baselayer. I found the fit a little tight in the shoulders/upper chest, and a slightly loose in the stomach. But a overall good fit thanks to the stretch.
(5-8, 130 lbs, size small)

Breathability is good for a softshell, and the windproof front/fleece-ish back gives a great temp range. I like it better than the "Mountain Hardwear Transition Super Power" i used to run run in. The MH probably offered a little more protection, but the Salomon was lighter and IMO, had a slightly better fit for running. Another option to look at is the "Sugoi Firewall", which is a similar design. The windproof front, fleece back is key for winter running.

Warning: dudes wearing this jacket next to skin may experience some very uncomfortable chafing...
