Rosehip 26 Feb 8:21pm, 26 Feb 2020 15177 posts	0 Rosehip I am trying very hard to sit on my hands and not buy the ladies version of one of these: alpkit.com I have a lovely Inov-8 like Sharkie's, which is lovely to run in and the wored hood works really well - but it's a bit small for me at the moment

Superjools 26 Feb 10:34pm, 26 Feb 2020 672 posts	0 Superjools Thanks for the input everyone. I ordered a shakedry but the shape was all wrong for me.. Incredible how light it was though! That's being returned. After the suggestions of the other waterproof (pertex) I have ordered (and absolutely love) a Montane Minimus. There's plenty of room underneath for a base layer or two, the hood has a wire and tucks away into itself, all the pockets are watertight and it's a nice colour. I'm not a speed demon so although a bit heavier it's fine. I can't vouch for its complete waterproofness as, typically, it hasn't rained on a running shift since I bloody received it! It's comfortable though so fingers crossed!
