Excellent Running Jacket

Nice protection against the wind. Compared to the 3.0 version, the 2.0 version is lighter, but provides better protection against the wind and drizzle. I wear 3.0 on colder days that are calm, and 2.0 on days where I need more protection against the elements, sometimes with an additional layer underneath.

It fulfils its purpose, jacket for colder day runs. It hasn't been too windy or rainy here, so I can't comment on that. I hope it is durable. My qualms: The bottom is quite loose, wish it was a snugger fit-a drawstring or something to make tighter on waist. The side pocket zippers often snag on the inner fabric-so that design could be improved. I would like the bottom pockets to have a more secure hold for a phone, I feel like it is bulky to run with my phone in the pocket (phone bounces around in current pocket). Plus, that you have a place for earbuds in the pockets, but webbing or something to hold the phone would be much appreciated.

Comfortable And Functional For All Sorts Of Activities

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really pleased with this jacket. Like, surprisingly pleased. At 6' tall and 175 pounds, the Large size fits perfectly. Slim-fitting without being too tight, and certainly not bulky or too long. The jacket has plenty of stretch, making it incredibly comfortable for both athletic activities and casual wear. The outer fabric on the shoulders, chest, and arms is water-resistant and windproof, yet it's surprisingly soft—nothing like the stiff windbreakers of the past. The feel of it adds a level of comfort that's hard to find in performance jackets. Design-wise, the jacket is sleek and understated. In the black color, its subdued design doesn't scream "look at me, I'm a runner!", making it versatile enough for everyday wear if you're comfortable with a slightly sporty look. It's warm enough for low 30s temps with just a t-shirt underneath. I tend to run warm, so wearing it unzipped with just the two buttons fastened provided plenty of ventilation. It'd be too warm for anything in the 40s (for me), but probably nice and toasty with layers underneath for anything in the 20s, and maybe below. If there's one thing I'd like to see on the jacket, it'd be the addition of a couple more subtle reflective areas for better visibility during low-light runs, but that's a little nit-picky. Overall, the Brooks Fusion Hybrid 2.0 Jacket is a fantastic blend of comfort, style, and performance. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a versatile, light weight, athletic jacket.

Great Lightweight Jacket, Very Versatile

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jacket is light weight, but some how manages to keep me warm when I am out in the wind. I am not in a very cold climate, but it does suit me also for warmer weather (with not being too hot). Can wear layers under if need be and have appreciated the mixed materials as the back is more stretchy. It's now in my rotation for a nice lightweight windbreaker type jacket when I work out and also casual at the office or running errands.

Perfect Blend Of Performance And Style For Fall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Fusion Hybrid Jacket 2.0 has become a go-to piece for me, especially on those crisp fall days. It’s perfect for running in the colder weather, keeping me warm without feeling bulky or restricting movement. I love the versatility of this jacket—it’s just as useful for casual wear as it is for my outdoor activities. Whether I’m layering it over workout gear or throwing it on with jeans, it fits seamlessly into my wardrobe and looks great with everything. The design is sleek and stylish, making it a staple both for performance and everyday wear.
