With the first week of fall
finished, many people are beginning to trade in their comfortable summer
running shorts, tank tops, and flip flops for warmer and cozier clothing.
Around this time of year you see people exercising in oversized sweatshirts and
baggy sweatpants. It’s not the most attractive outfit in the world to work out
in but it gets the job done in keeping you warm on those chilly autumn days. As
more and more people are beginning to take their fashion sense to the gym or on
their early morning runs, sports companies have taken a step forward in
providing customers with fashionable fall work out gear.
A noted Nike fan myself, I’ve been browsing
their website these past few weeks and noticed an increase in their fall jacket
inventory. The Nike Element Half-Zip jacket is one of my favorites and seems to
be quite popular amongst a majority of my friends. I own two of these jackets,
one that is royal blue and the other a mix between mint green and light blue. What
I really like about these jackets is that they are very lightweight, but yet
they are great at keeping the heat in. Also being a person who sweats a lot, I really
like the fabric Nike incorporated into this jacket because it does a good job
of not allowing the sweat buildup to cause the jacket to get damp. Even if you aren’t
working out, this jacket is very stylish because it is simple and it comes in
numerous different colors that you can choose to your liking.
Another jacket that caught my
attention was Nike’s Windrunner. One aspect of this jacket that I really liked
was that it wasn’t just a one solid color, but that it had many different color
combinations and patterns that were worked into the color scheme. Windbreaker
type jackets such as this one seem to be making a comeback in sports fashion as
the younger generation are starting to wear them more often (so if I were you I
would hop on this bandwagon of the comeback of windbreakers!). What I really like about Nike’s Windrunner
jacket is that it is very breathable and loose, which is in contrast to the
Nike Element Half-Zip which has a more skin-tight fit. Also the Windrunner jacket has hood which is
very convenient to those who like to work out outside in nature’s beauty
because whatever the weather this jacket provides protection.
Both jackets I reviewed today are
great choices depending on what elements you are looking for in a jacket. They
provide the warmth and protection from the weather, which is needed during
these chilly, rainy days of fall, and also provide a pop of color to create a
fashion statement wherever you may be. I hope this review has helped you in
your search for what gear to invest in for this fall season and remember these
jackets will be just as useful once we hit spring!
