Waterproof Gear For Exercising in the Rain

We've all had plenty of experience running on dry days, but what about cloudy, rainy ones? I actually love running in the Summer rain because the light raindrops keep me cool. And if you're training for a race, running in all types of weather is a must since you never know what nature will serve up on race day.

When exercising in the wet weather, you definitely don't want to get soaked though since running in wet gear can cause chafing and blisters. Prevent the pain with these must haves to help you stay dry and enjoy your rainy-day run. And if running in the rain seems crazy to you, these pieces of gear just might inspire you to change your tune.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Isotope Jacket

Spring is approaching fast and that means so are the April showers (ugh), which means my outdoor runs are about to get a little messier.

Spring is approaching fast and that means so are the April showers (ugh), which means my outdoor runs are about to get a little messier.

I've been on the hunt for a jacket that I can keep in my desk at work so I can continue my lunch break runs, even if it starts raining unexpectedly. I am happy I've found The Isotope ($89.95), a fully waterproof and breathable jacket. It's made from a featherweight Nanolite material that's fully seam-taped for a ton of protection. What's more? A medium weighs a mere 4.8 ounces! Stow it in your gym bag, purse or even in your desk and the four fun colors (Sun, Spa Blue, Hibiscus and Citron) are perfect for spring. I especially love that the Isotope has two zippered hand pockets, one of which you can stuff the entire jacket into. How cool is that?
