When the forecast hints at spring but your wardrobe isn’t ready to commit, these five jackets and shirts offer an effortless, and stylish, transition.
UYN Exceleration Windproof Running Shirt
Think of this technical running “shacket” as your go-to layer when the weather can’t make up its mind. It wears like a shirt but blocks wind and light rain like a jacket, with vents that dump heat when the miles add up. Made from 100% recycled fabric, it’s finished with thoughtful touches — thumbholes, reflective hits, a zip neck, and secure pocket. $250.
Forloh BTM Pro Jacket
If Chuck Norris feared harsh conditions — which, of course, is the opposite of truth — he’d grab the BTM Pro Jacket. Made in the USA from rugged, military-proven ripstop fabric with a waxed finish, it shrugs off wind, brush, and rain while keeping you comfortable through long days of anything-goes action. Available in solid and camo. $279.
Sherpa Tarcho Printed Full Zip Fleece
Add color and culture to your next adventure with the Tarcho, named for the Tibetan prayer flags it celebrates. Made in Nepal from 100% recycled polyester, it’s sustainable and durable, with snap-closure chest and zip hand pockets to keep essentials safe. OEKO-TEX certification ensures ethical production. Choose from multiple vibrant patterns. $140.
KUIU ULTRA Merino 120 LT LS Hoodie
Data nerds will love what KUIU has to say about this tough and lightweight hoodie. Built with Nuyarn tech — wool fibers spun around high-strength nylon — it dries five times faster, stretches 35% more, packs 120% tougher seams, is 35% loftier, and stays 35% warmer. Wear it solo when it’s hot, layer it up when it’s not. $109.
Showers Pass Cloudburst Jacket
For those who train in on-again, off-again conditions, this 100% recycled polyester jacket packs down into its own pocket for easy transport. And unlike some waterproof layers that get swampy, the Cloudburst is designed for real movement: four-way stretch, soft breathable fabric, large core vents, and moisture-wicking lining at the collar. $239.
