Anyone use a non running specific jacket for running?
I wore a uniqlo down jacket the other day as I was so cold. Eventually I ended up with a soggy layer of feathers sticking to me and I was cold again, but for about half an hour it worked alright.

Down jackets, particularly cheaper ones, are sweat boxes.
@hats A few years back Jana bought an Arcteryx Atom SL top for ski touring (i.e lots of uphill in cold conditions) and it was a revelation. Fast forward a couple of years and we now have 8 Atoms and Fissions in the house, in the different weights.
If you're looking for an insulated top for high output activity, in our opinion it doesnt get better than this. 200 grams in size medium! Jana runs cold and finds that its ok for activities to a couple of degrees below freezing.

I got this a couple of years ago, mostly as a replacement for the 15 year old, similar carhartt jacket my mum gave to a cash for clothes shop 🤬
I'm considering using it for running as it's Gore Tex Infinium lined. It'll also look extra "steezy" in the hills. 😂
Will see how I get on.
Anyone use a non running specific jacket for running? As long as it's lightweight and water resistant, it should cover most bases.
