Best Water-Repellent Trail Jacket: Under Armour Women’s UA Storm Impasse Trail Jacket
This jacket is lightweight, water-resistant, and windproof, yet still breathable enough—thanks to the light fabric and strategically placed vents—that it doesn’t get uncomfortably hot. It also comes with built-in mittens that pack into the sleeve, and the entire jacket packs up into the zip chest pocket for easy travel.
The experts say: “I have last year’s version of this jacket and it’s my go-to for rainy running,” Erin Strout, a freelance journalist, runner, and hiker, tells SELF. “This jacket keeps you dry and also not too hot. It also packs down very small, so you can throw it in your pack in case of emergency. I even threw it in my purse once while traveling because I didn’t have a streetwear rain jacket with me.”
Available in sizes XS–3XL.

Best Fleece-Like Outer Layer: Under Armour Mission Full-Zip Jacket
Made with textured, oh-so-fuzzy fleece fabric, this full-zip is the perfect warm layer for all of your cold-weather workouts. It zips down the front, and it also has snap closures and a storm flap to keep cold air out. Zip hand pockets keep your hands warm or items secure, and an adjustable hem allows you to customize the fit and seal in the heat. While the fabric is super warm and cozy, it doesn’t feel too heavy.
SELF says: The Under Armour Mission Full-Zip won rave reviews from testers during our 2022 Fitness Awards. It performs well for hiking, jogging, walking, and in everyday life. The looser fit is ideal for layering during extended outdoor activity, and its high-cut collar can be zipped all the way to the top for added warmth when needed. As one tester noted: “The body hits right around the hip, so it’s great for hiking because you’re not feeling too bundled or restricted in something that’s long.” Strong insulating power makes this jacket a great pick for chilly outdoor adventures.
