Right, if...

- you want a lightweight, breathable, top-of-the-range type jacket for everyday running (and maybe some cycling)

- you like to run with an iPod and want to keep it accessible and dry

- money is no object

...what would you go for?

I have about an hour to make a recommendation. Best guess so far is GORE Mythos Neon GT

Yes, yes.

She's tied to the railway tracks and we need to make a decision or the man with the twirly moustache will...

Basically, it's an important work gift and as the office runner I have until the end of lunch to tell them what to get.

My favourite jacket is the Montane minimus... big map pocket in the chest for the ipod but may bounce around a little? All the important features are there though... light, breathable etc

Everyone always seems to like the OMM Kamleika stuff. Don't know how it is on a bike tough.

OMM Kam whatsit is amazing. And almost beautifully waterproof :-)

Ooh, yes. Is the hood a bonus, or a pain in the butt on the OMM Kam?

And are there places to stash an iPod, etc?
