Near Perfection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For years I've been in search of the right jacket for trail running and I believe I've finally found it. More breathable than any other I've tried and the water beads off perfectly. I'd have to say it absorbs 0%, but does not feel like a sweaty old slicker. I ran in the pouring rain, just two days ago and it pretty in the 50's and I wore a light long sleeve layer underneath and I was perfectly comfortable. I've never liked the feel of jacket sleeves against my bare arms, so I'll see how it works when it's really warm. I probably won't wear a jacket, just get wet :-)

This rain jacket will keep you dry without over heating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket lives up to the claims, well worth the price. I've searched for years for a rain jacket to wear while running...this one wins!

Awesome lightweight/waterproof running shell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is extraordinarily light. It kept rain from getting to the skin during a decent downpour over the course of ten miles. It dries out quickly and packs away conveniently into just about any size pocket on a running vest. It also offers some protection from light snow. It fits pretty snug, so there's not much room for layering if that's what you have in mind. Worth the money.

Best lightweight waterproof jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for everyday use because its so light, but also very useful when you want to have some protection from the elements during a workout.

Need to make in a bigger soze

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to return, 2xl was to small. If they made it in a 3xl I would have repurchased

An excellent jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and easy to carry as it folds into the pocket. Looks good when on.

Love but...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket. I hate that it does not have front pockets. I get that it is a running jacket but I would like for it to be the only shell I travel with that I can wear when it rains at my destination. Not having front pockets makes it less versatile and adding them would not compromise the jacket.

Most Breathable running shell

I've had other wind breaker--The Houdini--that after 10 minutes felt muggy and hot. However, the Futurelight material does breath significantly better. It's still a jacket blocks rain and wind, so the breathability won't be that of a polyester long sleeve. However, I find this jacket to be comfortable in a wider range of temperatures and humidity. Fits slim and does not feel baggy while running. I've also used it on rainy, cold bike rides and it works great for that. Hope this helps

Second skin

I've only been waiting for this jacket since it was announced early 2019. I didn't think it would live up to the hype, but I'm glad I was wrong. It is unbelievably light and super comfortable! I really wish it had more pockets but other than that it's an easy recommendation for anyone who wants the best of the best.

Previous owner of the flight series Apex running jacket

I used to use the previous version for.running in the cold of Ohio winters but when I moved to California I found it convenient as the mornings can be cold and I can ball it up when I leave work for the day and not have to wear it home. It's super lightweight. More so than my old one but also seems not as warm as my old one. Fit is not as tight as the previous series but still has good shape and doesn't look as baggy as the one posted here. Price is much higher though but this was a warranty replacement. I would not replace my old one for this cost else wise.
