Nike Stride

The Nike Stride Men's Therma-FIT Winterized Running Vest is great! I am usually a small so I got a small and it fits perfectly. Not too tight but not too loose. I'm 5'6" and 140 pounds. I wanted to see how warm I could get and remain with just this vest on and a simple long-sleeve Dri-FIT T-shirt. This vest is definitely warm and stays warm. While running and naturally warming up, I didn't even feel the cool weather anymore. Mind you I'm just in a regular Dri-FIT T-shirt under this vest. The side pockets, not the regular front pockets, the ones that are like web pockets on the side are pretty neat too. I don't usually like having anything on me or in my pockets while running but wanted to see how it felt using these side pockets. I put my keys in one and my phone in the other. It wasn't too bad with the keys but you can feel the pull down with the phone. Cell phones are much larger now and that plays a part. I didn't run again with the phone in my side pocket after that, but having my keys in the other was not an issue. I would recommend these side web pockets be used for light things like keys, headphone cases, or wallets. I also decided to use this vest as a jacket on regular days too without a run and even without running, it still kept me warm in my chest area and back but I was definitely cold on my arms of course. Probably not the best regular day jacket to use but obviously it wasn't meant for that. Definitely a warm and efficient running vest. The reflective details and design are also fire. To be fair it's fall and in my area it's still in the 50s and some 60s in temperature. I went on runs at around 50s to low 60s temperature. I would assume running in 40s or 30s may be a bit tougher but this vest does get warm so we'll see. Won't be able to test that until it gets a bit colder. If there's just one thing I can change on the vest it would be the zipper; it feels flimsy and weak, like if I pull too hard or it gets caught on something, it feels like it would break. Overall, this running jacket is awesome and could motivate me to run more in the colder months.

Love this vest. This vest is very light weight so I don’t feel bogged down when running. It is very warm & cuts the wind down very well. I wear L in Nike and it fits me perfectly. Not too tight not too loose, just right. The design is nice because it’s a subtle unless the light is hitting the reflective pattern hidden in the clothes. It performs very well. I live in michigan and currently in the fall the temperature is around 40° so when I go for my morning runs it keeps me warm without over heating. My favorite part of this vest is the reflective design that can be seen clearly with a phone flash. I think that looks so cool because you can barely tell it’s there without the flash. I wouldn’t change anything. This vest doubles down as something I wear every day over a quarter zip or zip up hoodie. Definitely recommend.

Really really dig this vest. It's super light so it doesn't feel restrictive in any way, but it still keeps the body warm. Fabric feels breathable and plenty of pocket space to fit whatever you need on a run. I split time in CA and NY and feel like wearing this works with both climates for all things running
