Blinking love it was so happy to see my size back in stock so nabbed it quickly and it’s better than I thought. Great fabric great fit and looks nicer than a normal running jacket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have running jacket! The fit is true to size. The lightweight material keeps you warm and feels comfortable on a run outdoors. The hood is also a nicely designed, especially when running in rainy conditions. There is a hidden small pocket inside the jacket which is the perfect place to store your keys. The jacket is mostly black, but has a fun animal print.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT Packable Running Jacket gets 2 thumbs up! The jacket is super lightweight (can barely tell you’re wearing a jacket), and is really comfortable! The fact that it’s pack able and can be folded down into very little is an added bonus. Love that it has a hood (not all running jackets do), and the built in whistle is awesome; gives a little added feeling of security when running as a female. I would def recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Nike run jacket fits perfectly, with room to layer or wear with an alone. Feels lightweight and moves naturally while running. The design is sleek and practical. I have also been grabbing this jacket to wear to and from yoga. The fabric is breathable yet protective, keeping me dry in rain and blocking wind without overheating. I especially love how packable it is and how well it performs in all conditions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The material of this jacket is light, airy and breathable, but it still felt substantial and shielded me from the sun and wind. It is a little water resistant on top, but probably wouldn’t recommend it during heavy rain. The colors are very fashionable and easy to work with almost regardless of what else I’m wearing. The print is tasteful and I really like the muted gray/charcoal. The inside pouch pockets are deep and extremely useful, but not practical for keeping something heavy in during a run since it will bounce around. I ran on a humid day in this jacket and I was surprisingly comfortable. I rolled up the sleeves easily and they stayed put which was helpful. The whole run I left the jacket on and felt comfortable even though it was hot. I would recommend this for someone who is worried sun damage so they need a layer to protect them. If the hood was detachable that may be nice, but that would add some weight too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this NIKE swift women’s DriFit packable running jacket in size small. I am 5’4” and currently 135lbs. I typically wear small or medium in similar jackets depending on fit as I like something fitted but with some room for comfort. I found size small to be perfect. The pattern is a subtle animal print and the color is dark grey and black. I love the pattern and appreciate the small reflective touches at the back and shoulders. There are two side pockets and they have zippers, which is a huge bonus. The material is 80% polyester 20% spandex and feels very soft and breathable. It is light weight with makes it perfect for exercise as well as packing on a trip. I wore it on a plane and it was perfect- kept me warm and I was able to put it in my backpack when I landed. I love how easy it washes. Something I’ve never seen on apparel before but am happy to have is a whistle! It’s small and not noticeable to anyone else and it works great. The hood can be tightened as well. There is so much attention to detail put into this jacket that it is truly remarkable. I look forward to wearing this for exercise as well as daily wear. You can’t beat the comfort or functionality and it helps that the fit is flattering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT Packable Running Jacket is a light weight and stylish jacket. It has a great athletic fit and is not too loose or too tight. I find it to be very comfortable and a great layer to have without getting too hot. This jacket has a leopard print black on gray that gives it a bit of a pop. They also sell matching shorts. I love the design and find it easy to match with my workout clothes. The fabric is an ultra light weight material which is perfect for a run or even for a hike. It is easily packable if you need to take it off and put it in a bag. This jacket is super versatile and I have been using it as a layer to the gym. It is so comfortable and light weight I can keep it on through my warmup. It will be perfect for outdoor runs too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve run marathons in everything from coastal winds to tropical humidity, so I’m always on the hunt for gear that can adapt. I took the Nike Swift Women’s Dri-FIT Packable Running Jacket on a few different runs—some long, some fast—and here’s how it held up. Fit & Feel: The fit is flattering without being snug. It’s definitely made for movement—no tightness in the shoulders or weird bunching. It feels super light on the body, which I really appreciated on tempo days. I wore it over a tank and over a long sleeve on cooler mornings, and it worked well both ways. Design: Visually, it’s sleek. I like the slightly cropped cut—feels modern without sacrificing coverage. The fact that it packs into itself is a game changer when you're traveling or dealing with unpredictable weather. I stuffed it into a waist belt mid-run once and forgot it was even there. Fabric: The fabric is thin but effective. It blocks wind better than I expected and didn’t cling when I started to sweat. One morning I got caught in a light mist, and it handled it fine. That said, I probably wouldn’t wear it for heavy rain—it’s more windbreaker than rain jacket. What I Liked Most: It’s lightweight and easy to bring along without overthinking it. Great for transitional weather and warmups before a race. What I’d Change: A small pocket would’ve been nice—for a gel or house key. Also, I wish the zipper was a little sturdier; it works fine, but feels a bit delicate. Performance: Overall, it held up well across a few runs in different conditions. It’s not a heavy-duty jacket, but for what it is—light, breathable, easy to stash—it does the job really well. I’d definitely bring it on a race trip or keep it handy for spring/fall runs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite running jacket. I don’t leave home without it. I wear it not only for running, but also taking the kids to school on a daily basis. I love the material, it’s very lightweight and keeps me dry for those early morning runs. I wear an XS and this jacket is definately true to size. I would highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is extremely lightweight and I love the subtle but stylish black leopard print. It’s so fun to wear gear that makes me feel pretty when doing hard, gritty work! I also loved that this jacket was not baggy and had a flattering fit, yet still had enough stretch that I could comfortably wear it for my 3 mile morning walk at 32 weeks pregnant! I love finding products that support women in movement, health and fitness throughout pregnancy and postpartum (not always an easy feat). I look forward to using it to repel rain on my walks for the rest of pregnancy and to train in all kinds of weather during my postpartum season, when I prepare to chase a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon next year!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Nike Swift Women's Dri-FIT Packable Running Jacket was worn and reviewed by my wife. When first getting the jacket on the first thing you notice is it is very form fitting. Although form fitting, it is not restrictive. The fabric of the jacket mixed with Dri-FIT technology makes it great for run wear. The design of the jacket may be my favorite. The black/grey colors to include the animal print design stand out. Although not clearly seen in the photos, the jacket has the proper reflective aspects for running. Having the jacket fully zipped with hood on seemed secure. If I could change anything about the jacket it would be the fit. Although it wears true to size, there is minimal wiggle room. This may prove uncomfortable for longer runs. Overall this is a solid addition to the Nike performance collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is thin and very comfortable. Very nice when you want a layer, but it's warm or humid. It's light and feels weightless. It's also the perfect length, not too short like some women's items are. I'm slightly overweight and it fits perfectly. I love the design of the cuffs. Smooth, dri fit like material that doesn't squeeze the wrist. Really like that idea and doesn't get caught on my watch at all. If I could change 1 thing, there's a safety whistle, which I think is a fantastic idea, that goes inside a little pocket up near the neck line alongside the zipper and seams. If the jacket isn't fully zipped, the bottom of the pocket sticks out. I was debating cutting it out since I never fully zipper anything, but think I'll just get used to it. I'm curious how it may hold up in rain. Never got to try it out in that weather.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have the women's Dri-fit running jacket. I like that's it's comfortable and i can wear it in the heat. It's hot where I live in CA so wearing it as a light jacket has been great. I like the fit of it. It is not to tight and I can wear it with anything because it's black and a large in women's. I'm not sure if it comes in other colors or not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Jacket is super cute!! Lasted well when walking/jogging in light rain and moderate wind. Very light weight. I do wish it was a little bit longer but overall would recommend! For reference I am usually a size 8-10 and got a Medium
