Running jackets for winter
On cold, dry days a Thermo Hoodie is often enough: the fleece lining keeps you warm and moves moisture away from your skin, and the zip lets you regulate your temperature. When wind and wet come in, the Elite Thermo Shield Hoodie protects you with its Shield fabric on the chest and shoulders. In steady rain the FlashJacket is the right choice. You will find all our warm layers in our winter clothing.
Which size fits?
Most running jackets are cut in a race fit and sit close to the body. If you want to wear something underneath or are between sizes, go one size up. The Elite Puffer Jacket has a deliberately relaxed fit.
