Top 10 Activewear Jackets

THE SPECS
This women’s black zip-up jacket from C9 by Champion is made from a breathable, stretchy material. It includes two zippered side pockets and thumbholes on the sleeves for added warmth and convenience.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
Rainy-day runs are no problem at all thanks to the moisture-wicking, quick-drying material of this jacket. Just zip up the high-standing collar for added protection from cold drafts while out hiking, jogging, or cycling.

NOTABLE DETAILS
Meet the third best-selling women’s athletic jacket on Amazon. Designed for movement, this workout jacket is a lightweight layer that will keep you warm while still allowing for ample airflow.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
The logo on this jacket is reflective, which is an exciting detail considering how early the sun goes down around this time of year. Also, it comes in a wide range of sizes from XS to 3XL.

THE SPECS
Zella Studio’s Lite Ribbed Detail Track Jacket has everything you could want in a women’s training jacket. It’s made from a stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric, has secure pockets to stow your things in, and has a flattering, form-fitting silhouette.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
According to reviewers, this jacket runs small. So, if you plan on layering it over an athletic shirt (or if you just like a roomy fit), we suggest sizing up.

NOTABLE DETAILS
Target’s All In Motion brand is known for its affordable, high-quality styles. The Zip-Front Jacket is a great example, and while the buttery-soft feel of the fabric is enough to make you feel good, here’s something extra: It’s made from at least 20% recycled material.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
Only 5% of the reviews for this best-selling athletic jacket are under four stars. Here’s an excerpt from a 5-star review we love: “Great jacket. A bit more structured than I expected, but I like it better this way. It doesn’t hang like a typical zip-front hoodie or jacket made from sweatshirt material. This is softer and heavier, but not so much that you would wear it on bitterly cold days.”

THE SPECS
PowerSoft is our new favorite oxymoron because it refers to Old Navy’s ridiculously-smooth compression fabric. Their Cropped Full-Zip Performance Jacket features this innovative material blend, which is probably why reviewers describe this style as incredibly form-flattering.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
There are a few can’t-miss details of this women's fitness jacket, including the curved, cropped hem and the flat-lock seams that help prevent chafing caused by movement.

THE SPECS
Athleta’s Flurry Force Insulated PrimaLoft Jacket II is an updated version of one of their popular weatherproof styles. Made for training in cold weather climates, this jacket features a quilted front, a high collar, and thumbholes for added warmth.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
This jacket is designed to fit snug in order to trap your body heat. Some reviewers mention sizing up for a more comfortable fit, though, so we recommend following suit if you plan on layering something like a long-sleeve top underneath.

NOTABLE DETAILS
If you’re in the market for a women’s fitness jacket that’s down for anything, this one is a top choice (and it has the name to prove it). Windproof, water-resistant, stretchy, and breathable, the Down For It All Jacket is a reliable style ideal for all outdoor adventures.

USER REVIEW
“I’ve used this jacket on everything from 2-mile to 12-mile runs already, and it keeps me warm for those frosty jogs below 25, but it still ventilates, so I never feel like I’m overheating. I run hot, so overheating has always been a battle for me, and this jacket has really changed my cold running game; I’ll be getting a second for sure.”

NOTABLE DETAILS
The difference between Lululemon’s Down For It All Jacket and their Define Jacket Luon is in the construction; while the former features down feathers for insulation and warmth, this style is made from cotton and acts as more of a lightweight layer.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
The Luon fabric is what makes this lightweight women’s athletic jacket both soft and stretchy, but there’s also lycra in the blend for added support and shape retention.

THE SPECS
The second Athleta jacket to make the list, the Triumph Hoodie is peak sporty chic. It has a ribbed collar, a hood, side stash pockets, and thumbholes, and its organic cotton blend is both stretchy and breathable.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
This jacket comes in regular, tall, and petite sizes from XXS to 3XL.

NOTABLE DETAILS
Vuori’s Halo Performance Hoodie 2.0 takes a classic style and elevates it to a level of luxury that’s rarely seen in athletic clothing. Made with the brand’s DreamKnit fabric, it’s self-described as the world's softest performance hoodie, so we wouldn’t blame you if you decided to never take it off.

WHAT ELSE TO KNOW
This style has hundreds of 5-star reviews to support its status as the best women’s athletic jacket on the internet. But you don’t get there without the functionality to back it up, which is why we’re happy to report that this zip-up is stretchy, moisture-wicking, and destined to be a regular at your gym.
