I really love the 2-in-1 aspect of this jacket (let’s be honest, no one over the age of 22 would wear it bolero style??!). I have run up to 75 mins wearing this. I like the neat fit on the arms, I love the colour. I had to take off the top the other day and it fits okay into the gilet pocket but a bit bulky and so for seriously long runs, you’d get annoyed with it (I only had ~5km more to complete that day). It’s good in the cold for wind protection and rain protection seems good too.
The hood is the issue - it billows and flaps behind you if it’s a bit breezy and you have it down. Unfortunately, there’s no wee pouch to stow it away in the collar. You need to tuck it in down your neck, really. When I have run with the hood up, for warmth, it also flaps a bit and fills with air as there’s no adjustable cord. I ended up tucking the front into my buff which worked well.
All in all, I’m reasonably glad I bought it as it’s funky and performs fine. I am a recreational runner tho. If you trot out 2-4 times a week to get maybe 5-15kms in, then this will be fine. Really good amateurs/professionals probably know of a better piece of kit!
