Customer Reviews Brooks Fusion Hybrid Jacket

Love this jacket! The fabric is wind & water resistant and lightweight. I love the fact that you can fold it into a backpack-perfect when the weather changes. I bought the gold jacket-it?s bright enough that traffic sees you, but not so bold you feel like a spectacle. The fit is slim, which I appreciate, as I don?t like wearing bulky jackets when I walk or run. Would definitely recommend it.

I spent a lot of time trying to pick a new running jacket after I wore my previous one to death, and I'm extremely happy with this one. It's just warm enough, soft enough, stretchy enough. It also simply looks good. Very sleek design. There are thumb holes but they?re _actually_ optional, meaning it doesn?t look weird if you don?t use them. The ends of the sleeves have some extra (very soft) inner fabric, and the thumb holes are cut into that fabric. This means if you aren't using them, they're practically invisible. Most jackets either have thumb holes that you basically have to use, or they don't have them at all. The jacket is a cozy level of warmth, which is something to keep in mind if you also live somewhere that is 95+ Fahrenheit most of the summer. For me, it probably won't be a good summer jacket.

I have this jacket in 2 colors because during the winter I wear it nearly every day! It is perfect technically and also very stylish.

I love this jacket for cold winter runs. It?s also nice to be able to turn it into a backpack if weather warms up during long runs.

Fits comfortably. Will be used for colder weather running

I love everything about this - it was my go-to all winter and into the fall. The pockets on the side are perfection.

Great jacket on a cooler morning. I like the length, a little more coverage in the back. The best is that I can wear it alone or with a light layer, depending on the temperature. Keeps the chill of the wind out.

Great fit, comfortable, breathable highly recommend

I like this jacket. It has worked well against wind and moderate rain. The fit is snug but not tight, and I like the length, which is somewhat cropped at hip level. My only complaint is about the straps that are used to carry the jacket when it is stuffed into its pocket. The sliding clasps do not stay put, so as I run the straps loosen and fall off my shoulders. To keep the jacket on my shoulders/back I have to hold the straps while running, which does not work for me. I think this could be solved by adding a small buckle or snap to connect the two straps at mid-chest level, kind of like straps on a backpack.

great fit, light weight but warm, lots of pockets, and good looking! it's now my go-to for chilly weather. moreover, dealing with brooks customer service was great: expeditious returns and refunds. probably the best customer service i've experienced online. that's reason enough to shop with brooks as a lot of this stuff is fungible.

I love this jacket so much. I bought two different colors and wear them all the time. Wish there were more options that included reflective material. Love the pockets and how they keep me warm yet don?t get stifling hot when I start running.

Use lots of apparel and shoes from brooks over the years. I use this for winter runs with layers when it?s 30ish. So far used for multiple runs and I love it. It has back pocket for gloves and gaiters if it gets warmer on the run. I?m petite and wear xxs for this it fitting but not in a body cone type, I can still wear full sleeve base layer underneath.

LOVE! LOVE! It's my coat for winter here in Bend. Just add a vest when its super cold in the morning

Love it! Runs a bit small perhaps (if you want to layer up underneath it, I would recommend sizing up). The buttons on the front to allow you to unzip and get airflow once you warm up is genius! So glad I purchased this and have been advertising it to everyone on my Strava and in my running club.

Such a great jacket! I have an older version that still looks and wears great eight years later. It?s wonderful for cool morning runs or hikes and is perfect to throw on for errands.

I love this jacket. The zipper pockets are great for keeping my keys secured. Great fit and style. The jacket also keeps me warm enough on chilly days.

Nice and light. The sleeves are a bit long but the fit is great.

Love it! So comfortable and stylish! I got one for my daughter, loved it so much I had to get one for myself

I love this jacket! I just finished a run in 18 degree windchill and it kept me warm. Worn with a long sleeve tech shirt underneath, this jacket blocked the wind and trapped my body heat just enough to stay comfortable. I?ll be wearing this jacket all winter :) For sizing reference, I?m 5?2?, 140 lbs, and a medium fits perfectly.

You don't have to be a runner to love this jacket. I walk daily and wanted a lightweight, close fitting jacket for cool fall days. The fabric is very nice and has wind-breaking properties. The zippered pockets are perfectly sized and placed. The stand collar keeps my neck warm and does not poke my chin. And...I look terrific in it...I think : )

I?ve had this jacket for a few weeks now and It?s been great for running outside in the fall as the wind starts to pick up! I absolutely love that in can convert into a backpack which is perfect for longer distances, especially in the shoulder seasons. I also appreciate the back pocket which can store my phone and the zippered pockets on the waist and one on the chest, so I don?t worry about losing my keys. I?m 5?5? and weigh 140lbs. The medium fits well, but might be a little short on someone with a longer torso.

I?m loving this jacket?I haven?t used it for running, but throw it on to complete my athleisure outfits. It?s very sleek and I love that it can fold up/pack away if I don?t want to wear it. It fits true to size (I got my normal medium), but keep in mind it is a running jacket, so it is slim fitting. Overall, I would highly suggest this jacket!

This is my new go to jacket. I have a medium which is true to size for reference. It?s great for everything from going out on a run to cross training to casual. It?s very lightweight and washes well. I really like the thumb holes and the zippered pockets. The option to be able to snap the jacket closed in the front when it?s unzipped is genius! I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Could I love the Brooks Fusion Hybrid jacket any more? I don?t think so! It is a comfortable versatile jacket with so many uses. I wear it to the gym, outdoor runs, coffee runs and school pick up. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into to the design. I love the sleeve gaiters or thumb holes. The ventilation flaps are awesome when your mid-run and sweaty. The two front zip pockets are great for holding your keys without fear of them falling out. On the inside of the jacket there are drop in pockets, the perfect size for your phone. And the real bonus: it folds up nicely into a pocket on the back! For reference I am 5?7? and 145lbs and the medium is a perfect fit.

I walk and run with my dog every morning and throughout the day. This jacket has been perfect for chilly fall mornings in Virginia. I love that it has versatile inside and outside pockets for keys, ID, phone, and dog treats. This replaces the jogging belt I would need to hold all of my items. When it warms up, I can pack it up into it?s own pocket and clip it to the dog leash or tie it around my waist without it feeling bulky.
