New Balance Raptor Jacket (For Women)

This may be my favorite jacket of all time. It is just the right weight for cool nights, and not so heavy that it will restrict movement. Light enough to tie around my waist if I get hot, too. I LOVE the flip over mittens on the cuffs. What a brilliant idea! Very practical, and yet stylish, too.

I live in Wisconsin and use this jacket as a top layer for early morning (read: below freezing and sometimes below zero--although with fewer layers underneath it will be perfect for merely cool temps as spring approaches) runs. I love it! It is technical wear at its best--excellent design, materials, and craftmanship. I especially like the thumbhole cuffs that ensure the sleeves don't ride up and that do fully cover my wrists. It's comfortable. It's sleek. It's a buy.

I just bought a second one of these jackets because I haven't found another with all these great features and great fit! This is my favorite running jacket!

I use this jacket for running in cold and windy weather. It is superior for warmth.

Great for cool mornings, thumb holes work well, generous sleeve length.
