Rain Jacket For Exercising
Posted on 9/30/21 at 2:25 pm

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lightweight rain jacket that won’t sweat out when exercising (walking/jogging)? I’m looking for something with zippers in the armpits and pockets in the traditional lower/front area. I’ve seen some good options for hikers but I can’t find one with zippered pockets near the waist. Zpacks Vertice is the closest I’ve found.
There’s something satisfying about being out in a rain storm but sweat dripping down my arms is a bummer! Lower body doesn’t need to stay dry.

I have a Gore-Tex Shakedry R7 rain jacket...super thin and lightweight...not cheap but it is a great jacket. Might not meet all your specs, though.

I might be the only one, but I love running in the rain.

It's one of the only pleasures of running in the south.

I run shirtless regardless. Just embrace it

If you enjoy running in the rain, get a decent water resistant bucket hat (kuhl makes a good one), a pair of polarized glasses, and go shirtless or use a super lightweight fast drying singlets.
If you really want a rain jacket look at the Montbell Versalite. Its the only ultralight jacket I know that has zippered pockets and pit vents. The pockets are a little higher than a traditioal jacket, but most ultralight gear ditch the zippers to shave ounces.

This looks like what I am after. It’s less expensive than many of the other options, those pit zips are HUGE, and it has Velcro wrist closures. Thanks for the recommendation.
For those who suggested going shirtless, my kids would absolutely die if I took a few laps around the neighborhood with my 50+ year old dad bod. I’m not an elite runner or anything ; I just like to get out and walk or jog 5 miles 6 days a week and I don’t let rain stop me.
