The Soar Running Winter Anorak is a highly innovative running jacket designed to offer protection from the worst of the weather.

    Features

    • 2 handy pockets - 1 on your chest and 1 on your back, both were big enough to fit my iPhone in. 
    • Fitted hood - Didn't think I would use this much, but on cold and wet runs, it has protected my face from the elements keeping me dry and warm. 
    • Hand warmer mitts - Thumbholes allow you to run with you hands in your sleeves without stretching the fabric. 
    • Italic technic fabric - Highly breathable fabric lined with plush fabric that is insulated keeping you warm and the cold out. 
    • Doubled-applied water repellent - I have not got wet once and have been bone dry every time I have run in the rain. 

    Size Guide

    The jacket fits really snuggly, more like a top, than a jacket.

    I am normally a size XL but I did go a size up, mainly because it was a little too snug around my stomach and I was a little self conscious about how snug it fitted in that area.

    Colours

    Price

    Is it expensive? This jacket might be on the higher price point for most but the price reflects the amazing quality of the jacket made by Soar Running, meaning this is a piece of running kit that will become a staple part of your running wardrobe for years to come.

    Conclusion

    I wasn't sure I would get on with a overhead jacket as I thought it would be a pain to get on and off but it is probably the best running jacket I have owned.

    It keeps me warm, every time it has rained I have kept bone dry, I love the hand warmer mitt features and it fits really snuggly but allows you to move freely.

    It conveniently drys super quickly, so on days when I have been doing double runs, it is ready to go for the 2nd session.

    Personally I would like to see some more reflection detailing, but there is a another choice of colour that is bright orange for those wanting a brighter colour for the darker nights.

    It partners perfectly with the Soar Running WoolTech Top. With these 2 tops on I have been out in freezing conditions and felt super warm and dry.
