Soar Running Windbreaker 5

Running in the UK can be unpredictable, you start out with blue skies and sunshine but before you know it the clouds gather, and the wind picks up and your body starts getting cold, the right clothing is essential to get the most out of your run.

The Windbreaker from Soar is a running jacket available in men’s and women’s sizes (XS-XL) in Red, Black and Orange, designed specifically for protection from blustery winds and cold conditions. It has a close-fitting ergonomic design which hugs the body to prevent loose material flapping in the wind, it can be worn over a base layer or directly on the skin. The material is mid-weight and stretchy, so it moves with the body without restriction of the arms or torso, the long sleeve shell blocks out the wind and cold whilst letting the body breathe and moisture escape. The construction has strategic panelling in the body, this stops the lower part from riding up as you move and exposing the skin beneath, for added protection there’s a cord system on your lower back to give you the precise fit. The laser-cut cuffs and ergonomic arm construction keep the sleeves where they are, the super thin cuff prevent any rubbing or irritation, especially important when running in wet conditions. The inner lining of the jacket has a soft brush finish which helps keep things comfortable and provides some insulation against the skin, warm enough to wear as a single layer in milder weather or just one base layer when things get colder.

There is a diagonal waterproof zip pocket at the rear that can be used to store keys, phone and gels for example without bouncing around or causing discomfort. There is some high vis detailing and reflective seams to improve visibility on gloomy days. The Windbreaker does exactly as it promises, it provides a good amount of warmth for how thin and light it is, the fit is really comfortable and flattering, it can easily become your go to jacket for trips out as well as running. RRP £170
