Warm Jackets
Overview
Jackets like this are for very cold weather. Many people simply will never
need these for running in at all. In fact arguably anyone can avoid paying for
these by using enough layers -- polartec thermals, one or two
cotton layers then a windshell. Or you could just wear a jacket like one of
these, and a single warm layer under it. Not essential by any means, but nice
to have when the weather calls for it.

Review
This is a very warm jacket, yet has an aero fit, not ``baggy'' like
the typical rain jacket. One of the few running products that looks good.
Long drop-down tail. Good for running or cycling. The only problem is finding
weather cold enough to justify blowing so much money on a jacket.
The moisture transport is not as good as it is with lighter materials, but
you will not get drenched in the jacket either.

**** could use reflective material, too warm for most conditions, expensive.
