Here at RW, we test dozens of the best waterproof running jackets. But this Salomon Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper Pro stands out.
What everyone's reading
For a start, it’s one of the best for repelling the rain and shielding you from whipping winds. But it’s also great on the little details that really matter.
The combination of slim fit, four-way stretch softshell and strategic panels gives you freedom to move and run uninhibited. While the high neck stops the worst draughts icing down your back. When you hit age 4o you’ll understand the importance of this even more.
There’s a dropped back hem for extra protection and laser-cut ventilation to boost breathability – which overall is pretty good.
Storage is a little limited – presumably to keep the weight down – but there’s a front zippered pocket that can swallow a larger smartphone or gels. It’s not totally bounce-free when you’re moving at pace, but it secures your phone well enough on slower runs. It’s also good post-run when you want somewhere to stash stuff.
This Black Friday discount brings the Salomon Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper Pro down to under £130, making it a rare opportunity to snag a cracking winter running jacket for 30% less.
