Nike Pro

What stands out most is the breathability, unlike most waterproof shells that turn into a portable sauna, this one actually vents heat so you stay dry from the inside out. The hood stays put in a gale, and the deep, sealed pockets keep essentials completely bone-dry. The only thing I would change is adding an option to pack the whole jacket down into its own internal pocket for easier stashing in a bag, but otherwise, it is a solid, dependable piece of gear for training in all types of fall weather.

This training top is great fit for a workout or even just casual wear as a layering option. For me, I sized down from my size for short-sleeve items (Medium) and found this to be the perfect fit. The all-polyester material is lightweight, breathable, and soft to the touch, but still substantial enough to help out on slightly chilly days. With it being a Dri-Fit product, I would've expected the material to be a little more stretchy. This is apparent with the sleeve cuffs, as it's very stiff in that area. Additionally, the hood is designed to almost be similar to a gaiter, causing some discomfort with the neck area given the stiff material. The all-black design with grey side panels is very straightforward and sleek, with the Nike logo/wordmark not being too loud.

The Nike Pro Men's Dri-FIT Mid-Layer Training Top is an excellent addition to any fitness enthusiast's closet. It works great as a single layer for early morning runs and also as a layering option when running in colder climates. One of my favorite features is the back vent as I run hot and the vent allows for more layering options in cold or freezing temperatures. Overall this is a great training top whether you are lifting weights, running, or any other athletic endeavor.
