      Great jacket for Cleveland winter running in conjunction with just a long sleeve underneath. Media pocket is nice and zippered side pockets hold my house key. The collar is comfortable when zipped all the way up. I liked it so much that I bought a second one.

        Comments about Essential Run Jacket II:

        I wore this coat the other day on a windy 30 degree with only a Rev LS II shirt underneath and was sweating after 30 minutes. The jacket did a great job blocking the wind and the fabric around the collar was very comfortable on my neck. A large fit perfect (6 foot and 180lbs) Also the jacket can be worn on outings with the family. I would not recommend this jacket if you are going to wear short sleeve shirts because there is no liner in the jacket and it will stick to your skin when it is sweaty.

            It took me 2 months to decide to buy a rain jacket for running. I thought it would be a useless purchase since you get wet anyway; boy was I wrong. This is a very good jacket for light to moderate rain, haven't tried heavy rain yet. I would purchase this again.

              Awesome jacket - fits great and looks very cool. Blocks the elements, and its perfect for fall running or early starts for races. I have logged 25/30 miles of water and wind and I have ZERO complaints. Love this jacket from the color and fit all the way through for functionality.

              Not great for trying to keep warm while just walking or hiking on a crisp night, would be my only advice. This jacket seems to be better meant for while I you're moving in it (running vs walking). Semi-fitted is very accurate but it's not tight or uncomfortable in any way!

              Plenty warm. Great water repellent.

                  Bought to run a marathon that had a start with a near freezing temp. Used this as a second layer, and kept my body temp up while I warmed up. Highly recommended.
