Rack up miles and defy the downpour with these top rain jackets by Nike.
Some people find running in the rain a welcome reprieve, while others try to avoid it at all costs. Regardless of your preference, investing in proper running rain gear can help ensure consistency in your training from season to season.
A good rain jacket for running can help enhance your run — whether it’s drizzling or pouring. Nike offers a plethora of wet weather running jackets. Some boast Nike Storm-FIT ADV waterproof technology that will keep you dry during light rains. Others are equipped with Therma-FIT technology that helps resist heat loss.
Below, check out the best running rain jackets by Nike, thanks to the technology used in the designs.
1. Nike Storm-FIT Rain Jackets
Nike signature Storm-FIT technology uses ultrafine microfiber polyester and highly breathable laminate to guard against wind and water — all while keeping you warm. Jackets made with this technology are engineered to protect clothes worn underneath from getting drenched. You’ll notice hoods of these jackets are often equipped with a drawstring cord that cinches at the top and bottom.
This two- to three-layer jacket also has adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs, offering further protection from rain to stay dry and comfortable on your run. Small belongings (such as keys and cards) are kept safe in the zippered hand pockets, whereas the zippered chest pocket can shield electronic devices from the elements.
BONUS: Jackets and Vests from the Nike Trail Collection
When battling the elements, consider outerwear options from the Nike Trail Collection. A men’s staple, the "Cosmic Peaks,” for example, is made with fabric that gives you wind proofing and water resistance. For women, the Nike Trail Repel UV Running Jacket features UV protection as well as a water-repellent finish.
