Brooks Nightlife Essential Run Jacket II (For Women)

I wanted a jacket that would help me be seen during my early-morning runs. It seems to be working; I haven't been hit yet. I ordered a large for my 5'5", 145 pound frame and it fits pretty well. It fits best across the chest but it is a little roomy in the bottom of the jacket. I don't really mind that, though, since I can cinch up the waist of the jacket if it's too cold. The jacket is good at repelling light rain/snow but isn't insulated at all. That being said, I've worn it for a few weeks now in temperatures that range from the high 20s to the low 50s and it works well with a long-sleeved running shirt underneath. The pink is fairly accurate to the color as it is displayed on the website. I like the pockets and the zipper works well. (I have another running jacket and the zipper is so frustrating to get up and down! A zipper that works well is quite lovely!) I'm glad I bought this jacket, especially since the price was right!

I have worn this in 25 degree weather, and I was toasty warm with layering. It definitely stops the wind and is visually bright , an important safety issue!!!

It's bright and light and got little white reflecting stripes on it. Great for running!

I needed a bright/reflective jacket for running after dark and this (in the green) has worked well so far. I'm 5'6" 130lbs and went with a medium, which has worked well with a few layers underneath. The only thing I wish it had was some sort of small key pocket within the pocket.

I liked this jacket, but the sizing was off for me. I usually wear a small, but this was too tight across my chest. Since I am also short, I was afraid the medium sleeves would be way too long.
