Having spent far too much time browsing the net for a replacement running jacket having shrunk out my old Karrimor budget one, Im looking for something more substantial and fit for this dreary climate of ours. The only one I managed to settle on was the Salomon Fast Wing, but quite a few reviews say it has a nasty habit of accumulating sweat in abundance? Anyone out there who could offer an alternative they love or reply on would be greatly appreciated. Happy injury free running guys.

What's your requirements ? Can you expand on "fit for this dreary climate of ours"

Are you wanting something guaranteed 100% waterproof to cope with long day upland fell running, or something to cope with 5k in a urban light shower, or something in-between ?

What's your budget ?

I *think* I saw somewhere that (maybe) Blacks were flogging of OMM gear at a good discount ;-)

Ideally something that will keep me warm and dry on a longer run.

I wore mine for my Bob Graham - 23 hours 44 mins in the Lakes. I much prefer the stretchy knit fabric to a "hard shell"

Cheers Tup, appreciate the link. I'm svelte, but not that svelte lol. It looks like they are all xs sizes.

Ronhill Tempest get good reviews, half price for £75 at ratrace.com but only L or XL. Plenty other places doing it for £100.

Kamleika very good as DT says.
