Buying advice

When choosing a sports jacket, consider your primary activity and climate. For rain protection, look for fully waterproof and breathable fabrics (e.g., Gore-Tex). For insulation, down offers the best warmth-to-weight but fails when wet, while synthetic holds up in damp conditions. Price often reflects durability and advanced features, but many budget options provide great value for casual use.
