Which jacket are you choosing? Any other products you want us to test?
Anything made from 'GoreTex Shakedry Trail' material, never wets out and is 3-4x more breathable than your breathability winner here. I won't wear anything else now.
From a true practical running sense on a rainy winter morning slog definitely the Salomon jackets, but loved the aesthetic of the Under Armour Storm jacket for a park run. Great selection guys! Id love to see a review of a jacket like the Gore Wear R5 Infinitum for us zone 2 slow runners when its cold ❄️
@@rubybarrett8990 agree, would have liked to see a review of the gore wear R5
Just reading an article in cycling news that the PFC ban is making certain products unavailable, including GoreTex Shakedry
On jacket is such cool! I will try it!
gave a like for Andy making an effort
😂😂
This video came at the perfect time, I need a new running jacket. Now I'm eyeing the Inov8 Stormshell, which hadn't been on my radar. Thank you for doing this!
I bought the inov8 Stormshell last year and still love it, comfy, very breathable and completely waterproof. The hood is the best fitting one I've had as well!
Great review. This made my decision a lot clearer in what jacket to buy. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos. I am new to running and find your videos fun and inspirational and have just signed up to for my first 10k race in February. This video is very useful as I am looking for a waterproof running jacket to get me through the winter. I like the Omm Kamleika as the stretch material sounds more comfortable and it has pockets which are a must for me.
Andy, the fancy dress is ❤! Thank you for this review. I just came in from a wet, wet run and was soaked through three layers. This review is helpful for thinking about a nice holiday treat. 😊
Great vid. I love the look of the Inov-8 one, got a couple of ultras lined up for next year so might have to splash out. 😬
Next year, please take a look at the Harrier jacket. I've had mine since March 2022 and it's been great. Very good details and water proofing.
Great timing. I’ve been researching and in need of a running jacket. I’m probably going to favour the innov8 over the out-run the storm. Breathability is important to me. Thanks 🙏
I spent a lot of time researching jackets and eventually went for the Gore R7 Shakedry Trail jacket instead of the Inov 8 Stormshell. The R7 trail is extremely breathable and light as a feather, very happy with it.
Thanks for the reviews and sharing the options available. I’m looking to update my wind jacket, this video helped. The Inov8 could be a viable option for me.
There’s so many great brands/products we don’t see on this side of the pond (Canada). New to the channel and enjoying the content!
I’ve got one of the underarmour, but was thinking I’d gone for style over substance so was good to hear i hadn’t made that bad a decision !! The hood would be the only bit that lets it down. I like the look of the inov8, good reviews v informative
This video was perfect timing. I'm training for my first half marathon and need a good running jacket. I was eyeing up the Inov8 Stormshell and vou all verified it's awesomeness in this video.
Great! Good luck in your first half marathon Robert 💪 which one are you running?
@@runningchannel I'll be running the Scranton Half early next year. You all have helped me so much! Thank you
I’ve never owned a running jacket for rain or wind, but I’ll need one starting in Jan. when my Training begins with Fleet Feet (gotta choose soon). I liked the UA Storm, but you showed so many good ones that I had no idea about.
Thanks, TRC!
Gonna need to rewatch this video…
I did my first 5k race since my second was born just yesterday, and it was a windy rainy mess. I do not have a good running jacket that fits my post 2nd baby body, and I've been looking into them, so this video was perfect timing! I love the inov8 and will definitely be looking into getting that one.
I already own the yellow Decathlon jacket, plus more recently the Ronhill/Mountain Marathon for winter events and training. They both have served me well and kept me dry in heavy downpours. Out of the jackets that you have shown I would buy the new Inov-8 breathable jacket that Sarah modelled. I own nothing from Inov-8 and that jacket looks and sounds great, plus you can’t have too many waterproof jackets! Or I would choose the brooks run visible convertible jacket, to be safely visible when running at night and to be able to remove the sleeves and wear just the body if overheating 🥵
I fell for the inov8 right from the start, really considering getting that one. It ticked like al the boxes. Except for the books jacket with the hi viz and packable functions. Super good video 👍💪🏃♂️
Sarah rocking the jacket modelling! 🦺
After watching this.... Bought the inov8... Looks great. Excited to try it.
I've had the OMM Kamleki for the last 4 years and its excellent and lasts much better than I thought it would. I really like the soft non-crinkly fabric with mild stretch which means its comfortable as a windproof as well as a waterproof for all day use. I have been looking at the inov8 storm shell as my next jacket so pleased to see that come top of this review.
Love your vids The Running Channel!! Andy making fun of Sarah is so funny!! :)
I have been eyeing that Under Armour jacket for the last few months, I'll definitely pop it on the Christmas wishlist now. I'd have liked to have seen Odlo on one of the awards shortlists. Their Zeroweight windproof jacket works and washes well, is comparatively good value and looks great too.
Thanks Sarah & Andy for a very informative video on an item of running gear most of us are going to need through the winter months. All great jackets in their own right but my favourite would be the Salomon for their overall quality & known reliability.
Glad you found it useful Roger 😊 Salomon is a great choice! Do you prefer running in the summer or the winter?
Great video! I needed a waterproof jacket for a 15K race today in the rain. You sold me on the Inov-8.
The inov8 does indeed look great. Amazing colour and since it’s so waterproof, it sounds like it could be very versatile and not only used for long runs on Sundays but also for rowing during these rainy and cold British winter mornings.
My favourite jacket is the Keela Saxon Jacket (limited edition) I won in a competition last year. I picked the orange one as I didn't want to run in the dark with a black one - I might look like an oompah-loompah but I don't care. I love it.
I wore the salomon jacket in glencoe and it was fantastic. Not warm at all but coped on heavy rain.
Very smart Andy 👌 love the humour in this awards event.
Having had a Salomon Bonatti jacket, and been disappointed with the waterproof layer peeling off around the neck, and being amazed at the quality of Inov8’s running shoes, I bought a Stormshell Jacket. Everything that I had liked about the Salomon, Inov8 has improved, on a massive level with the Stormshell jacket, when the jacket is done up all the way, if you’re not wearing the hood, it sits against your neck! And can’t flap in the breeze 👌
The Inov-8 looks and sounds like an awesome jacket. Love the outfit Andy 😄
My favourite is the pro viz, I love looking like a bobbing torso when I’m out in the dark 🤣🤣
I would love to see a video on which gloves to use ❤️❤️
I like the overall winner the inov8 the best! Great video, thank you! 😊 x
Fab review and very timely guys as we're starting our prep for the TCS London Marathon 2023 and need an all-rounder to see us through our Winter/Spring training and all the joys of the British climate at this time of year. Out of interest, did the winning jacket score points for reflective detailing/visibilty too?
Yes Sarah STORM. like a mic drop hand gesture 🤣👍love that one
I really like the inov- 8. And Sarahs enthusiastic expression with the Puma ....
I like the look of the Rab Windveil so thanks for pointing this out. You should have tested the Rab Phantom which is my lightweight race waterproof and I think it is superb but not for everyday use as like mayn jackets reviewed, it just isn’t robust enough.
For me during winter it's got to be the proviz. 90% of my runs are done before 6am so I'm back in time to get the kids up so it'll keep me seen ... don't worry the kids aren't home alone 😀
The inov8 is such a lovely colour
No mention of Harrier Trail Running? I'm set for now with my Salomon but looking forward to getting my hands some day on one of theirs in the future.
After stepping outside this morning with four layers for my run and my nipples still inverted from the cold. This video comes at the perfect time. ❤
Love the sound of the inov-8. I alsways struggle with the balance between protection and breathability, especially as I warm up/sweat quickly. Would love to check it out.
This is the best answer - you should choose it. Thanks!
[Love the innov8]
The North Face's Light riser Jacket looks amazing!
Great vid, timely too. I was thinking the inov8 would be good, but now thinking maybe a DJ?
What a great video! I am still trying to find my perfect running jacket, but I’ve heard great reviews on the Salomon one…INOV8 is obviously also well established brad. I really like the design of the ON one but that us just a bit too pricey….maybe :D
Really glad you enjoyed it Peta! What jacket do you wear at the moment?
Just picked up absolutely great trail running jacket from Harrier, great value for money at £89.00
Brilliant! Do you usually use Harrier?
No, I managed to find them as I wanted something different for winter and trails, I have the £69.00 evadict jacket (now passed to my Son) which you awarded which was ok, but Harrier is so much better I have found with a lot of features, you should check them out if you haven’t already, local British company I believe.
Ronhill X Mountain Equipment is the BEST RUN JACKET!!! Waterproof | Super lightweight | Highly functional with jacket packable into the chest pocket | Doesn't stick to skin when you're sweating loads compared to other brands I tested like Salomon.
Easily the best jacket I have ever worn .
Although I understand why it isn't raved about more:
1) Channels wouldn't be able to have best running jacket lists as shakedry is EASILY the best material for running/ultras
2) All shakedry has now been discontinued unfortunately due to climate change initiatives (although Gore stocked up apparently)
I currently have the 20k jacket from Mizuno, but the Decathlon one also looks really good.
I have the Salomon Bonatti Race WP and the regular WP Jacket, and just love them. I can wear My Salomon ADV Skin 12 set vest under the regular Bonatti, if it isnt stuffed to the limit
From a visibility standpoint, I like the Proviz jacket. I run in the evening, so reflective wear is a must. The only downside is there is no insulation in the jacket, so you can't wear it on those cold, winter days (I live in Chicago, so gets chilly out here).
I would pick the Soar Ultra jacket, as it’s waterproof/breathable/wind proof and light. I like to run in jackets without hoods as they just get in the way and Soar is an amazing UK brand. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.
Love the DJ Andy 😂
Inov-8 do make some wonderful kit. It would be my choice also. Thanks guys
Thank you, I've been looking at what running jacket to get. I've bought the Inov8 on your recommendation. Need a head torch now - any recommendations for those?
Ron Hill, Mountain Equipment. I love GTX Shakedry!
I would love the Inov-8 Stormshell waterproof jacket. Living in the Pennines it’s more often than raining when I’m out running but I don’t like how cheaper waterproof jackets make me sweat while running so I don’t tend to wear a jacket so I would love a high quality breathable jacket like this 🙏
Good solid winner, massive inov8 fan.
For winter visibility I have a cheap Lidl yellow fleece jacket with reflective panels. For continuous runs I find that once you're wet your base layers act like a wetsuit and retain heat... until you stop. I sweat so much that on runs most of the wet is on the inside whatever the weather.
Glad it works for you Paul! It's always tricky to stay wet and dry on winter long runs 🥵
Hugely informative. A black running jacket for winter with long nights doesn’t make much sense from a safety point of view(even with a reflective hits) Keep up the great work!
Got the yellow evadict jacket. It works very well even in a downpour but it’s definitely not breathable. I bought it because I live next to a decathlon store and it is hard to get stuff in my size where I live. For very light rain or windy conditions I have a very light and breathable windbreaker
The Innov8 jacket looks like a stylish, functional and an all-round winner 😊
Such interesting recommendations, in case! But would you mind recommending Nike and Decathlon?
Invov-8 looks awesome 👍
Nice videos :) my best wishes:)
I've got the romhill mountain warehouse one. Think they've stopped making it now because they couldn't get materials for manufacturing the laminate.
Very good gortex jacket.
Cant beat the value for money award in the current climate. Well done Andy for making the effort. 👏👏
Excellent video! I’m in the market for a waterproof jacket and it seems like the Inov8 is just what I need.
Let us know how you get on with it! What brand have you used previously?
First in the comments! Perfect timing this video as I'm ultra training and need a new jacket for the winter months 😁
Great David! Which ultra are you running?
@The Running Channel Brecon to Cardiff on February 19th it's nicely named 'Run, walk or crawl".My first one so looking forward to the challenge 😀
I don't have one of those but now after watching this video I'm headed out to go look.
My favorite jacket is OMM Halo - light weight, complete waterproof and I love it
Great! Glad it works so well for you!
I bought the proviz reflect 360 men’s explorer and love how lightweight and visible it is at night… innov8 storm shell is over $100 more, makes me wonder if there’s $100 worth of value there as well. Definitely curious after seeing this video.
What temperature would you recommend wearing a jacket?
I think the Innov-8 Stormshell looks the best to me - they've built a great reputation for quality, it looks good and they're a UK company!
You should test the Odlo Zeroweight Dual Dry Running Jacket. Great performance, no weight!
Please could you do a video on running in the snow 🙏🏻
Hello thanks for this review !
Nothing for 2024?
Have always had my eye on the Inov8 stormshell, but can't afford it. Have just bought the excellent Harrier Exmoor waterproof jacket for £89 minus a 10 percent discount. Brilliant value from a well regarded small British company. Not sure why you did not feature it as most other running channels have reviewed it.
I've recently bought this jacket. It's highly waterproof and has great breathability too. Has some great features that you'd expect from higher priced jackets. Definitely worth £89
Im a fan of the underarmour. I have a blue underarmojr jacket. Its pretty light, balanced waterproof, wind break, pockets, pull cords to waist and hood tighten.
Solid jackets for general all rounders and don't break the bank
Glad it works well for you Andy! What distance do you tend to run in it?
Agree with the winner decision. Lots of people I know love this jacket
I just ordered the UA a couple of days ago. If I had watched this video before I probably would have picked the INOV8.
Rain, sadly, has not been happening too often here in California. I tend to use a short sleeve shirt with arm sleeve a lot of the tome because it does not get too cold when I’m running (high 30s/low40s° Fahrenheit). When it is cold and dark I throw on the Smartwool Flash Light jacket for some reflection and protection. I am a warm runner so am always wary of rain jackets and running. Of course today we have lots rain and I was racing a half marathon - so not truly prepared in the jacket category. As a bike commuter I’d love to find a jacket that could work for both running and biking in the rain (my current raincoat is entirely unbreathable). Will look into some of these suggestions. Thanks!
My favourite is the OMM, as it's the only one I've tried that doesn't feel like I'm wearing a bin bag.
Loving the Rab jacket very stylish & would go down well in windy Scotland... 😅🏃♀️🏃♂️x
I'd give a shout out to Montane. They do a great windproof jacket. And a great waterproof hooded jacket 👊🏻
Inov 8 looks sick 🔥
Loving inov8 winning such an under rated brand. Love their Parkclaw shoes best shoe of 2022 for me
I absolutely need one. I like the Inov8 Stormshell, even the name fits for this area, then Salomon and The North Face. Lets see which one I can find in shops here.
Patagonia Airshed Pulover. Incredible versatile from cold to mid temperatures. Is not for raining but I try not run run in serious rain anyway. And it’s Patagonia…
It really sounds like the Innov8 is worth the price. I’ll definitely need to keep my eye out for a sale.
I choose the Ronhill x Mountain: TECH GORE-TEX MERCURIAL JACKET,. Gore tex is simply the best waterproof and breathable and quality colab
Inov8 all day long Salomon close second. My Decathalon Evadict jacket got saturated on a rainy day up Snowdon. Held out well for the day, but isn’t waterproof anymore. Buy cheap buy twice. You really have to be willing to splash the cash for for something that works.
My question: How often do you wash a running jacket? I want "most smell resistant" lol. I have one I use occasionally but I worry about buying a nice one and washing it too much.
Interestingly, I've bought two new running jackets this year based on "Best ____ Running Jacket" and neither of the brands made TRC's lists; I also didn't come across most of these jackets in my research either. That being said, I'm not surprised the Inov8 jacket could have swept the categories, given what Andy and Sarah had to say about it. It definitely seems to be an excellent jacket.
How often should most of these be washed? I don't have a jacket yet as I haven't really had to run in the rain or very windy conditions. Running 3 times a week now.
I only find Decathlon to fall small on their 'Kalenji' brand. Had to return 3 different items because they all were too small.
I would choose the Inov-8 simply for its versatility and its high marks in all areas.
Great video !!! - Keep up the Good Work.😍😍
What do you think about Raid lights WP running jacket?
I’ve just got a £20 karrimor jacket works perfect 😂
I almost never run in a jacket, I just find I get hot and sweaty far too quickly. That's okay for short runs in the rain but I know it doesn't work the same if you're up on a mountain in cold and high winds! Also maybe I just haven't tried a properly breathable jacket, so I'd pick the winning Inov8.
