I need a light waterproof running jacket -recs?

[juliahenry]

I'm looking for a lightweight running jacket that is actually waterproof, and not just water-resistant. I would love it if it was also reflective.

Anyway, I can't seem to find one. Can anyone recommend a brand/style that I could try?

Thanks for any suggestions!

What size are you? This runs a bit large. I *love* mine; it's been my go-to jacket this rainy snowy icy sleety winter.

Thanks, everyone!

I'm off to shop online

Kinda scared to buy lulu since I'm still over my happy/normal size and losing, but maybe once I get back there...

I have this jacket too, but I think it is a bit heavier than light weight. I'll probably stop wearing this one once the temp picks up.

True, it isn't all that lightweight. I wore it today, in cold wind (it's so great for that!) and was warm with a l/s and tank under. I just figured in warmer rainy weather, I'd stick to a tank or just sports bra under.

Thanks for this post. They're predicting rain for my half this weekend. Seriously bummed.

I don't think online is an option though since the race is on Saturday.

My local running store is putting all jackets and l/s stuff on clearance, any chance you can swing by yours before the race?

Stupid quote function is all kind of messed up on my computer. I wonder if I'm the only one.

Jene - Thanks! I think I'm going to do that this evening. I'm sick with a cold, so that is just adding to my general malaise over this race.

I can't seem to find the one I have... It's a Nike very similar to this one. It's very very light- there's mesh on the sides. It actually lets the wind right through. Not so great at 9 degrees and very windy this morning, but it's great!! I overheat usually, so breathable is a good thing!
