If youāre a runner who doesnāt let the light rain slow you down, youāll want to find wet weather clothing and shoes with water repellent or quick drying features to help you stay dry while still maintaining breathability. The two most important items to add to your running wardrobe will be shoes to keep your feet dry and stable on slippery surfaces, and a good quality water repellent jacket.
What is the best rain jacket for running?
The best running jackets for light rain will be water repellent to keep you dry, while still being lightweight and breathable. Polyester and nylon materials are effective for keeping water out and incredibly lightweight. Look for elasticised features that will further assist in keeping light rain from getting inside the jacket and strategically placed mesh or vent holes to improve air flow.
