The Packable Jacket is made up of 100% polyester, which is the standard material used for this type of product. It is highly durable, constructed from strong fibers that will not rip and tear easily when snagged on a branch or other obstacle that might get in the way. This windbreaker is made using recycled polyester, so it is an excellent choice for those looking for an environmentally friendly option for their outerwear.

Polyester naturally does not retain water, and this product has an additional finish over the poly that gives it a little bit of rain resistance, so if you get caught in a light rain shower, you should be covered and able to stay relatively dry. That being said, if it is a particularly hard downpour the Asics won't keep you entirely dry, but since the materials don't hold water well, you will be sure to dry up rather quickly, getting back to the dry and comfortable jacket you started out with.

One thing that most consumers can agree on is that this jacket is comfortable and great for those who want extra protection when they're out and about. It has a zip-up front which is ideal for getting the coat on and off with ease, but it is also going to help with temperature control, allowing you to open it up if you get too warm so you can let some air into it.

The attached hood offers you a decent amount of comfort, mostly in the way of preventing discomfort, as it is going to help keep you dry and keep the wind off your neck if you're heading out in gloomy weather. The drawcord allows you to adjust it as you see fit so you can achieve optimal comfort.

There's a drawcord on the hem of the jacket as well, allowing you to customize how it sits around your waist and place it where you want it. It truly is designed to help you stay nice and comfortable throughout your workout.

When heading outside for any kind of workout, including your daily jog, you want to make sure that you are as safe as possible. Thankfully the Asics Packable Jacket offers some great protective features that will help keep you safe and sound while you're hitting the roads.

As a jacket, you can be sure that it will protect you from the elements. It is wind and rain resistants so that it will shield you from the wet and cold. That being said, this is only moderate protection, so if you are stuck in a torrential downpour or are running in sub-freezing temperatures, you are not going to get the protection you might require. This product, however, is ideal for light rain showers and chilly spring and fall conditions.

The hood and hem feature a drawcord that can be pulled tightly enough to your body so you can prevent wind and water from entering your jacket and chilling you from the inside out. The same goes for the thumb holes and the banded wrist cuffs, and it will help keep your sleeves where they need to be so you aren't letting the elements in that way.

Another great protective feature this jacket offers you is reflective detailing throughout the design of it. It's designed to help make sure you are able to stay seen even if you're heading out on raining and gloomy days. You won't have to worry about others not being able to see you when you take off during low light conditions because the Asics features 360-degree reflectivity to make sure you're visible from any direction. Runners, especially, can appreciate this feature in their apparel.

The Asics Packable Jacket is designed for a more relaxed fit, meaning that it shouldn't be too tight on your body and you should have no problems with flexibility.

You want to make sure that you find that happy medium.

Customers have stated that the jacket is running true to size so that should take a lot of the guessing out when trying to figure out what you should order for the perfect fit.

The jacket features a hood with a drawcord that will let you adjust it as you need so it can stay in place when you're running. Additionally, you will find a drawstring along the hem of the jacket as well to give you personalization in the length and fit of your coat.

You will get a full-zip design so you can get the coat on and off with ease, as well as the ability to control your temperature. If you start to get warm, you can simply open the zipper a bit and let a little air in. If it gets too chilly, you can zip it up and be good to go.
