A Water-Repellent Jacket: Lululemon Cross Chill Jacket RepelShell
This Lululemon Cross Chill Jacket RepelShell ($198) is not only such a cute color, but it's also water repellent and will keep you warm. This is ideal for cold-weather runs.
A Lightweight Layer: Old Navy Water-Resistant Hooded Utility Anorak Jacket
This cute Old Navy Water-Resistant Hooded Utility Anorak Jacket ($60) is a great option to have around if you're concerned it might rain. It's also a good warmup jacket.
A Jacket With Lots of Pockets: Nike Shield Trail Running Jacket
There's nothing worse than a jacket that doesn't have deep-enough pockets. Luckily, this Nike Shield Trail Running Jacket ($140) solves that problem. It's also water resistant.
UA Qualifier OutRun the Storm Jacket
Let's be honest: water resistant jackets either feel like a plastic bag or a camping tent, and they can be pretty restricting, too — especially if your sport or workout requires you to move around a ton. The UA Qualifier OutRun the Storm Jacket ($76, originally $100), on the other hand, is as stretchy as it is water resistant due to its four-way, stretch-woven fabric.
A Cozy Jacket: Lululemon Hooded Define Jacket Nulu
This Lululemon Hooded Define Jacket Nulu ($128) is made of the brand's buttery-soft Nulu fabric. You'll never want to take it off.

A Layered Jacket: Nike Run Division Transform Running Jacket
When you're exercising in the fall, you usually start off cold and then get hot. That's where this Nike Run Division Transform Running Jacket ($150) comes in. It has a vest underneath, so when you start to sweat, you can remove the outer layer.
A Cozy Puffer: Old Navy Water-Resistant Narrow-Channel Packable Puffer Jacket
