3 Best Waterproof Running Jackets: 2022

OMM Kamleika Jacket

The newest version of the legendary OMM jacket has landed! This extremely light outer layer has improved durability & waterproofing and less flapping in the wind.

OMM jackets are well-known for their stretchy materials. It is their moisture-wicking four-way stretch Gelanots Fabric that moulds to your body in a way that other materials would not. The new version introduces a nylon outer layer, which immensely improves durability without sacrificing breathability.

The Kamleika Jacket feels much softer compared to other jackets on the market. It’s like a fully waterproof softshell with rating 20,000 HH and a breathability level of 20,000 g/m2. You can easily forget that you are wearing it, as it is so light. 

• It is also because of this stretch fit that the air volume inside the jacket can be reduced, making it an even better and virtually noiseless fit.
• It would be also great for longer races in winter, as you can ventilate with the two way YKK zip and avoid overheating.
• You can store gloves or other essentials in two huge hand pockets.
• The hood is adjustable and has a peak.
• Reflectivity features on the front back and the sleeves.

All these features make it a great option for running basically any distance on any terrain, while needing protection against rain and wind.
