While the weather outside is becoming less frightful, Spring almost always brings a mix of environmental surprises. With the sky ready to open up and pour on even the unlikeliest of days, it's a good idea to at least bring a light jacket on your outdoor run — regardless of forecast. Here are some lightweight, breathable options that work for a variety of climates.
New Balance Women's 90s Run Windbreaker
Colorblocking is one of our favorite activewear trends for Spring, and this retro-style windbreaker is a perfect example of why. Cool Spring colors and everyday neutrals unite in a durable, lightweight windbreaker.

This fitted silhouette is ideal for a distraction-free run, and it's just lightweight enough to work when the temps start heating up. The gray print is subtly sophisticated, but you can turn up the volume with a candy pink or cobalt blue.
