As the sky fills with blue again and temperatures start to rise, our sporting instincts kick back in. Spring is here! The urge to run is born — or reborn. Why not get into trail, gear up for summer competitions, or step up your training? Motivation is essential, but so is having the right kit. How do you choose the right trail jacket? It's not easy to pick from the many quality models out there — but we are here to guide you. Follow us!
Training for trail in the rain
Wet weather is no reason to skip trail. Turn what the rain has to offer to your advantage. You will build even greater mental resilience by taking it on. A waterproof ultrashell trail jacket and windproof shell will be a key ally. It has been designed and engineered for trail running, featuring a lightweight and stretchy membrane. This jacket is fitted with a hood that moulds perfectly to your face.
Ergonomic by design, it will not restrict your movement. Its construction allows air to circulate freely, keeping it light and stretchy. The softshell jacket is also well suited to rainy conditions. Its lightness and waterproofing speak for themselves. Its windproof properties provide insulation and help maintain body temperature. Comfort is guaranteed thanks to a mesh lining. Moisture is then expelled through the membrane. Kevlar reinforcements have been added to the shoulders and elbows of this jacket. It will therefore stand the test of time while remaining just as supple. It also features a perfect cut, making it extremely comfortable.
Adapting your trail jacket for cold conditions
Some people think sport and cold don't go together. Think again. With the right kit, you can take on any temperature — even the coldest conditions. Equip yourself with an extra-warm hooded jacket — better than a fleece, thinner and more insulating. It delivers warmth, comfort, and protection at minimal weight, with a cut perfectly designed to follow your movements. Its ultra-fine 3D-Flex Power fabric construction ensures superior insulation, with a cosy feel on the inside and a smooth finish on the outside. The warm, breathable thermal trail jacket protects you from the cold while leaving you completely free to move. Designed for intense activity, it wicks moisture away with ease.
The 3D-Flex Power fabric makes this trail jacket both resistant and warm. It is stretchy and very lightweight, making it perfectly suited for trail running in the cold. You will stay dry during and after exercise — the insulation is excellent. A special stretch fabric has been applied to the shoulders and back, providing better backpack support and improved durability.
Running trail in the sunshine
When sunny days make their return, there is no reason to miss out on the benefits of physical activity. Trail running is enjoyable when your kit is right for the conditions. Get yourself a lightweight, windproof trail jacket. It packs away quickly and easily since it can be compacted. Beyond this practical advantage, it features a water-repellent fabric that will protect you from showers. Wind cannot get through — you will be shielded from its effects. Furthermore, this trail jacket slips effortlessly into your pack and takes up virtually no space thanks to its ultra-fine fabric construction. It offers maximum breathability and high-quality reflective detailing.
There is also a sleeveless gilet that is equally practical. It is a lightweight softshell windproof gilet, known for its lightness and versatility. A mesh lining provides comfort and efficiently wicks moisture away. Comfort, warmth, and style sum up the qualities of this gilet. You will feel well insulated and your body temperature will be maintained in good condition even in strong wind.
Whether you are just starting out in trail or continuing with this sporting activity, choosing the right trail jacket is essential. Spring returns with the urge to run, and with it comes every kind of weather. It can be fine, cold, rainy, or gloriously sunny. Don't let the weather intimidate you! A packable, ultra-breathable, super-warm trail jacket… The choice is yours — pick the one that best suits your activity and enjoy the trail!
