Brooks & Saucony Apparel(Running)

[GLC1968]

I have a few Brooks pieces - mainly because they're one of the few manufacturers who consistently have hi-viz in their lineup.

I guess I can't speak generally about the brand, since they're all different. The Vapor-Dri half-zip running jersey fits kind of weird, much larger at the bottom than at the shoulders (like the old lady tops that are inescapable in Florida). The Equilibrium top is form-fitting but it isn't my favorite fabric - clingy and the sort of thing that feels like it's staticky even when it isn't. The waffle-weave Podium jersey is one of my favorite things.

I also just got this one from Nike, and I really like it, although the wind/waterproof fabric in the shoulders makes it feel a little tight in the shoulders when it really isn't. It's much warmer than it appears, warmer than anything else I have of a similar weight.

Oak - I was thinking of getting that shirt from Nike. How warm is it? I pictured it over a wool tank for winter runs (~40F) to block the occasional sprinkling...will it be too warm for that? I know we are all temperature different, but I'm tired of ordering and returning stuff all the time (though Nike is good about it) so I thought I should ask.

For some reason, apparently I didn't record the day I wore it (only once so far). But I THINK the day I wore it, it was 41°F, sunny and a little windy - I wore it with a wool tank and it was too much. Without the base layer it would've been just right.

Awesome, thanks! I think I'm going to give it a shot. I can always return it if it feels too heavy. I'm really good with temp regulation on the bike, but I still am learning about how I do it when running.
