If you’re taking your workout outdoors this winter, bravo! It’s hard enough for us to motivate to get to a yoga class on a blustery winter day, so the fact that you’re strapping on your sneakers and heading outside for a run, cycle or hike…well, color us impressed.

Finding the best outerwear for these fickle winter climes, however, can be a tricky assignment—some super-thin shells are better suited for springtime temps, while too-warm down jackets can leave you dripping in sweat by the end of your workout. Many, many of the options on the market right now are designed for “lifestyle”—meaning jackets that are created for taking you to and from your workout, and not actually providing water- and wind-resistance (and much-needed ventilation!) during your workout.

Well, we’re here to help. After scouring the Internet, we’re comfortable in saying that these are the best options for keeping you warm, dry and sweat-free while you’re pounding the pavement this winter. The great news is that all of these jackets are also super cute, so you can don them to meet your friends for coffee after that you cross that 5k off your list.
