Waterproof Running Jackets

When living in the UK, a waterproof running jacket is a must for winter (sometimes even for summer). It's worth investing in a good quality one, that will not only keep you dry but also comfortable, as you won't be overheating in it.

If you are not going to run in the rain, and with the first drops you usually head home, then you could even go for a cheaper option. A windproof running jacket is not as costly as a waterproof one. So you will save some money and still be protected from wind, and light rain will get repelled from the fabric.
