Running Jackets vary in price according to product specification.
An good entry level running jacket is the Ron Hill Vizion light weight jacket retailing around £22.00.
As you pay more money and go up the scale ,the better jackets have a higher breathable and waterproof rating as well a few more functions like extra pockets. They are alslo ligher in weight and may have additional ventilation features.
Running jackets are generally not waterproof but shower proof. The reason for this is that they have high breathable ratings. This is why many running jackets do not have wateproof coatings as these coatings make you sweat more and overheat. It is important when you run with a jacket on that you do not overheat. All running jackets will also have many safety features such as subtle reflective piping which is essential for night time running.
The way to get to get the best performance from your jacket is to wear a good brathable running base layer or good breathable running shirt. This will be a synthetic based product.
If you wear a non breathable shirt under your running jacket you will not be getting the best out of your jacket.
