Customer Reviews Brooks Canopy Jacket

Jacket is very lightweight, yet deceiving in its warmth. Although I usually like the wrists to be ruched, this is a bit too much of a good thing (don't live the look) - but they are comfy and do keep the rain and wind out. This jacket will get a ton of use.

I have mixed thoughts on this jacket. It looks great and fits well. I love the cut of it when zipped up- it gives you a nice shape and not just a "box." It does transition nicely into the little backpack, which is convenient. However, for actual running... I've had some issues. I've worn it twice in the rain. I did stay dry, but I was very hot and took it off the second the rain stopped. I also had trouble getting the hood to stay up as I ran and when it was up, the rain still got in my face. I ended up wearing a hat the second time I wore it with the hood pulled up over it. Not exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased it, but yet, I still really like it. I will continue to wear it around, but won't run in it unless it's really chilly out.

I love the material and fit of this jacket. For reference, I am 5'6", 130# and the medium fits great! I have worn this jacket 3 times- 6 miles rainy 32 degrees, 9 miles rainy/windy 32 degrees and 5 miles wet snow 27 degrees. All 3 runs I wore a Brooks short sleeve under this jacket and I have the jacket zipped all the way up. The 6 mile run I was dry/warm, the 9 mile run I was dry but the wind penetrated the jacket making it pretty chilly when I was facing the wind and during the 5 miler, I kept feeling cold water run down my sport bra and sure enough at the end of the run my entire shirt was wet but only behind where the zipper was so I am thinking the zipper is the issue? Also, the hood acts like a parachute when the wind catches it which is super annoying....wish there was an option to just remove it. I give the jacket 3 stars because it has good points and functions almost like Brooks claims.

I was looking for a running rain jacket for Seattle weather and initially had high hopes in this jacket, but was very disappointed. I ran in this jacket on a day with light rain for less than an hour and my shirt was pretty wet after! Definitely not water resistant at all! I'd be even more soaked if it was raining any harder!

The New style design, quite frankly, is absolutely ugly! The Ruushed wrist is awful! Stick with the classics, Brooks! Thank God I bought the older versions! If this was last year?s design I would have purchased all 3 colors. Also, tired of the frumpy cut women?s rounded bottom cut tops. Your design cuts have become worse & worse over the years to the point I have stopped looking at all of your items. WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT you added the ugly ?grandma? ruushed wrists. YUCK YUCK YUCK! Why ruin a good thing???? The CLASSIC AND TIMELESS STYLE DESIGN & CUT OF FORMER CANOPY JACKET WAS PERFECT. You lost me for good as a customer as of now. Tired of the ongoing ugly designs and cuts and colors that have become a constant!!!!!!!!!! Hire a new and fresh group of people! What you have now isn?t even 1 Star.
