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.
