February 9, 2006
After countless years of trying to find a waterproof, breathable jacket sized to fit us larger athletes/runners, I have finally found a recommended jacket from January's 2006 running apparel suggestions. This is the one! Finally found a jacket sized (even though is says Performance fit), at 2XL, which fits me very well (I usually wear 50-53), this one fits very well. I am only 5'8" and the long sleeves are no big deal!! The material is first rate, very light and soft to the touch, but you can tell the material is durable. Lots and lots of vents needed for running! A great touch with the sleeve pocket for holding keys, ID, etc. If you are a larger runner and are willing to spend a little extra cash for very well made jacket (by the way TNF Co. seems to always make first rate products), don't hesitate and buy one! Special note, I received my jacket in 3 days!! OK, stop reading and buy one!
