Many manufacturers use synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, which are popular for their lightness, breathability and resistance to adverse weather conditions. These materials are specifically designed to wick moisture away from the skin, which is essential during intense running when sweat and moisture can become an issue.
The next step in the evolution of running apparel was the introduction of special membranes, the most famous of which is GORE-TEX. These membranes work by allowing small molecules of water vapour (sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket, while blocking larger molecules (water droplets) from penetrating inside. This makes the jacket both waterproof and breathable, which is extremely important when running on rainy days.
In addition to traditional materials and membranes, manufacturers of running jackets are also experimenting with new technologies, such as nanotechnology, which makes the material more resistant to water and dirt, or fibres with antimicrobial properties, which help to reduce odours.
Today's technologies, used in the manufacture of running jackets, allow runners to concentrate on their training without worrying about weather conditions or discomfort from wet or cold weather. When choosing a jacket, it is worth paying attention to the technologies and materials used in it to ensure that it will meet the expectations of even the most demanding runners.Differences between summer and winter jacketsThe differences in the construction and function of summer and winter jackets are significant and crucial to a runner's comfort. Summer jackets tend to be lighter and more breathable, focusing on protection from wind and rain but still providing maximum breathability. They are designed to minimise perspiration and maintain optimum body temperature even during intense exercise on warmer days. The materials are thin, lightweight and often equipped with ventilation panels to effectively wick away excess heat and moisture.
Winter jackets, on the other hand, are thicker and designed to retain heat when the temperature drops. They feature a more elaborate construction, including warmer materials and extra insulation to provide protection on colder days. They are also often more wind resistant to protect against the cold. A higher collar, longer cuffs and sometimes even a hood are becoming standard in winter jackets to offer full protection from the elements.Features and practical extras in running jacketsWhen it comes to features and practical extras, running jackets, whatever the season, come with a range of innovations to enhance comfort and performance. Reflective elements are important for safety, especially when running in low visibility conditions. Pockets with zips provide secure storage for small items, while adjustable cuffs and collars allow for a personalised fit.
Ventilation under the armpits and in other key areas is often incorporated into the design to increase airflow in those areas most prone to perspiration. Jackets are also often equipped with features that add to their versatility, such as detachable sleeves and adjustable collars, allowing runners to tailor the jacket to current weather conditions and personal preferences.
