Designed for added visibility on dark runs, it’s not just early morning and nighttime runners that can benefit from adding the Brooks Running Carbonite Jacket to their collection of running gear.
Here are a few of my favorite features:
- Just enough bright colors to create contrast without feeling like a traffic cone.
- 3M Scotchlite carbon black stretch reflectivity placed in critical motion zones to help drivers instantly recognize you as a runner instead of something like flashing Christmas lights out of the corner of their eye.
- Wind and water resistant to keep you protected from whatever elements the run throws at you.
- Easy to throw over other layers for an added touch of visibility.
When and how to wear this jacket
EARLY MORNING/DUSK RUNS: If you run when it’s dark outside, whether you’re up with the sun or heading out for your miles after work, you’ll want to make sure you’re visible on the roads. This jacket has a balanced level of bright neon pops with hidden reflective materials so you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety.
RAIN/FOG: Thanks to its waterproof materials, the Brooks Carbonite Jacket is the perfect running jacket to throw on to stay a bit drier on those light rainy or foggy days.
COLD WINTER RUNNING: This jacket is a great layering piece for winter running. The fabric has a surprising amount of stretch so you can fit it over a more insulated or fleece-lined pieces to help provide added protection from wind, rain or even snow.
