Jacket

Hi

I've just finished week 2 and am loving running so far. However as it's cold and rainy at times I have been wearing my trusty Peter Sorm anorak. I want something better, lightweight, waterproof , colourful - I don't know really what I want and what sort of jacket will be best, just know that my anorak feels quite big and bulky.

What sort of coat should I be looking for - not too expensive if possible.

Thanks

Sarah

I've got a Ron Hill jacket too, it's great, really well made and the pocket is big enough for phone and keys etc, a real bonus!

I love my OMM halo. It’s so lightweight. It can be scrunched up to the size of a tennis ball. The halo plus has pockets too. Not the cheapest though but definitely worth the investment IMO 👍🏽

I have a really cheap one from decathlon in bright blue! I have found you don’t need one that often especially when the weather heats up 🙏🏼 so not worth paying a fortune!

I bought a great jacket in mountain warehouse. Windproof, waterproof and breathable and not very expensive. It's fluorescent pink. I love it
