Adidas Running Response Review
Don't let the weather outside determine if you should get out and get your daily run in. You shouldn't let a little wind and rain stop you from getting out and doing what you love. You're in luck. Running jackets like the Adidas Running Response will allow you to do just that. It is designed to protect you from the cold and the rain, allowing you to get still out and workout even if the weather isn't on your side. It has a slim fit so you won't have to worry about feeling like you're swimming around in your coat as you might with some of the other, more relaxed fit products. It has an average price tag, but the impressive longevity makes it a sound investment that your bank account can appreciate. There are only a couple of color options that you can choose from, but that doesn't stop consumers from purchasing and falling in love with this zip-up. No matter what color you get, you will be able to take advantage of the 360-degree reflective detailing, allowing you to stay visible to passers-by even in low light conditions, helping keep you safe and sound while you're hitting the road.

Materials
The use of polyester gives it a durable construction since it's made out of strong fibers that will not rip or tear easily, making sure that you won't have any mishaps while wearing this coat. Those of you who are looking for an eco-friendly product will be pleased with the fact that the jacket uses a portion of recycled polyester, helping the environment little by little. The fabric might be durable and robust, but it is also super lightweight, allowing you to be protected without feeling the burden of a heavy coat.
The elastane that is used in the jacket is better known as spandex or lycra, giving you a bit of a stretch for extra comfort and overall durability. Customers will appreciate the little additional stretch they get from this jacket as it adds to the overall strength.
Comfort
The water-resistant fabric will keep the moisture off your skin, so you aren't stuck finishing up your workout in soaking wet clothing when it isn't necessary. More than being able to keep you comfortable, this jacket is designed to help prevent most of the discomfort you would experience by heading outside in the inclement weather. It's going to keep the rain off of your skin and from soaking through to your clothes oh, and it's going to help keep you warm giving you an extra layer of protection between you and the cold wind.
Just because the jacket is constructed with water-repellent fabric, does it mean that it can't offer a decent amount of ventilation as well. Yes, it's going to keep the rain and other moisture off of your skin, but it's also going to let a decent amount of air flow into the coat helping keep you fresh throughout your exercise.
The soft materials that make up the jacket are soft and comfortable, giving you an all-around pleasant experience while you're wearing it. It is pre-shaped elbows that will allow you to have a more flexible and natural movement of your arms without feeling like you're being restricted at all while you're running.
Protection
You will get 360 degrees of reflectivity on this jacket to make sure that you're still able to be seen while you're out running in low light conditions. You should have no problem with passers-by being able to see you while you're out wearing this coat as the reflective detailing goes all the way around so you can be seen from every angle.
Of course, you're going to get a decent amount of protection from the elements while you're wearing this coat. As mentioned above, it's water-resistant, so you're going to be able to protect your skin and your clothing underneath from the moisture from the rain. This jacket features a full-length zipper and a stand-up collar to help give you a little extra protection from the wind and rain while you're out and about. The zipper can help you control your temperature, allowing you to zip it clear up when it is rather chilly, or you can open the zipper as needed to let air in when it starts to get warmer.
Fit
The slim fitting jacket runs just a bit on the small side; however, the sleeves are a little longer than you would expect. The banded cuffs help keep the sleeves pushed up and prevent it from covering your hands while you're on the run. Customers have suggested that unless you want the jacket to be tight, as intended, you might want to go up a size to ensure you have enough room to move around more comfortably.
Durability
When comparing the price of this jacket to some of the competitors, it is running right about the middle of the line. It's by no means the most expensive coat on the market, but you might find cheaper options if that is what you are going for. That being said, the longevity of this windbreaker makes it an excellent investment, as you might have to fork over a decent amount of money upfront but you will not have to do it again for a while, saving you cash in the long run.
Customers seem to be very happy with their purchase of the Adidas Running Response jacket and have commented that it has proper construction and high durability.
Size
Keep in mind that this zip-up is designed for a snug and slim fit, so it is not going to sit loosely on your body. Some consumers mentioned that they would recommend ordering up a size from what you would typically purchase if you want something that is not going to fit you like a glove.
If you are not sure what size you should order, you can always take a look at the size chart that Adidas provides for their customers so you can get a better idea of what you will need. This will help make sure that you are getting the correct size for the perfect fit the first time order, avoiding the hassle of having to return or exchange it.

Style
Since there are both men's and women's versions of the jacket available, you will get different color options depending on what you are ordering. If you're ordering the women's coat, you can choose between black, real coral, or energy aqua. Men can choose between black or raw amber. No matter what color you decide to go with you will get 360-degree reflectivity so you will be sure to stay see while you're out and about, even in low light conditions.
Maintenance
This product is machine washable in cold water and can be tumble dried on low heat. You're not going to want to use bleach and do not dry clean it; otherwise, you run the risk of ruining it. You can touch it up with a cold iron if you need to. Some additional things to note about washing the Running Response is you shouldn't use fabric softener and only use a mild detergent. You're going to want to wash and iron (if needed) while it's inside out and fastened closed and only with like colors.
Use
Of course, you aren't limited to working out when wearing the jacket. Some customers love the look and feel of it and use it as their go-to choice for their everyday activities.
