ON WEATHER JACKET

£190 Is the On worthy of the RRP?

On’s slim running jacket range consists of the Weather Vest gilet and this lightweight 175g jacket. Both are costly, but both are effective, stylish and with enough innovation to shame many major brands. The features list for such a slender construction is exhaustive, with the split design running under the ribs and back ensuring noteworthy breathability but not at the expense of water intrusion. There are also sleeves that extend to two different lengths and an engineered hood that, no matter how many headwinds we faced, just wouldn’t fall down, and the whole jacket can be folded into the water-resistant chest pocket and stuffed in a backpack. The DWR water repellent coating also makes a decent stab at preventing precipitation intrusion. MB on-running.com
