A great winter running jacket

by Jonathan, Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on October 2, 2019
Winter running jackets can be a pretty tough niche to fill. It is a battle between having enough insulation without becoming stuffy, and weatherproof enough to withstand any storms while maintaining some semblance of breathability. This niche is where the Norvan Insulated jacket lives. The jacket has just the right amount of insulation to keep you warm on all but the most frigid days but was still breathable enough not to feel like I was in a sauna. This feat was especially impressive for a fully waterproof jacket which usually doesn't breathe well enough to be active in.
Generally, this jacket checked all the boxes for what it is claiming to be, a winter running jacket that can hold up against snow and rain. While I usually would prefer to layer so I can get the insulation just right for the type of weather, I'd be facing, and it was nice to grab one jacket and go.
Overall I'd say this jacket was great for it's intended purpose, but I likely wouldn't be using it as an everyday jacket. If you are looking for a waterproof winter running jacket, this is the one.

Great jacket for wet conditions!

by Adam, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on February 8, 2021
This jacket definitely keeps you dry during wet conditions and the minimal insulation is perfect for you keeping you warm but not hot. The only thing I wish this jacket had was front pockets because sometimes I want to talk and put my hands somewhere. Overall, I love this jacket though!
Pros:
  • Warm jacket without being hot
Cons:
  • No front pockets
Best Used for:
  • Physical activity in wet and cold
Would recommend: Yes
