Best Men's Running Jackets of 2021

The perfect companion for cooler weather runs, the 2XU Aero Jacket is one of our favourites. Designed with a water-resistant stretch woven fabric and a back vent with power mesh lining for increased breathability and ventilation, this jacket will keep you protected while also making sure you don't overheat. Key features include an adjustable hood, front zip pockets and reflective logos and trims to keep you visible on those runs at dawn or dusk.

The ARC'TERYX Squamish Hoody is packed with features. Designed with a premium wind resistant fabric and a DWR finish, this jacket will have you covered for your runs in light rain and wind. If the weather clears up, you will appreciate how easily it packs down and stows in its chest pocket. It features a helmet-compatible hood with adjustable drawcords, a No Slip Zip with "speed bumps" near the collar to avoid self opening, and an adjustable hem drawcord. There isn't a feature that won't come in handy!

The Salomon Bonatti Pro WP Jacket is a reliable option for wearing in cooler, rainy weather. Waterproof, lightweight and breathable, it features an elasticated hood, hem and cuffs, a dropped rear hem for extra coverage and a hood that will stay securely in place even if the wind picks up thanks to a brim and forehead flap. If the weather clears up, the jacket can be packed away into its chest pocket and stowed away.

Ultimate Direction's most breathable and waterproof jacket is designed to handle the toughest conditions with ease. Packed with features, the jacket includes flip mitts to provide an option for waterproof hand coverings, a Tunnel Effect hood to allow airflow whilst keeping the rain out and underarm vents for added ventilation in high-heat zones. The interior chest pocket provides a dry, secure spot to store your essentials, and if the weather clears up while you're out then you can pack the jacket into this same pocket. Fully waterproof and extremely breathable, this jacket will have you covered for any weather.

Protective yet ultra-light, this jacket is a great option for running in the wind and light rain, thanks to the windproof and water-resistant fabric. The adjustable hood and hemline provide an adjustable fit and the slightly dropped hem provides extra coverage. If the weather improves, you can easily pack the jacket into the chest pocket and stow it away. With a colour option of bright yellow, this will ensure you remain visible in low-light, overcast conditions.
