Breathability
Breathability
The Under Armour Run True Jacket is extremely breathable which is a huge bonus for runners, as you do not want to run in a jacket that is not going to offer any kind of ventilation. There are mesh inserts strategically placed throughout the jacket, in the lower body, arms, and upper back, to ensure maximum airflow. In addition to the ventilation this jacket offers, the Under Armour Run True Jacket is made out of sweat-wicking materials to make sure that when you sweat it rolls right off the jacket so you do not become drenched in your own sweat. If the jacket does happen to get wet, either from your sweat or the rain, it is quick to dry. This jacket will keep you warm, dry, and well ventilated while you are out on a run.

In addition to the material it is made from, it also features a four-way stretch construction that lets you move better and more efficiently. Customers also enjoy that the jacket is fitted, which means that it sits on your body snugly, but it is not too tight and will not make it feel like it is squeezing you.

Accessories
Accessories
The Under Armour Run True Jacket is a lightweight running jacket and therefore does not come with any accessories. That being said, because of its thin and snug fit, you can easily wear a running vest or a hydration pack on your back without any additional discomfort. The jacket does come with two zippered hand warming pockets on the outside as well as a pocket on the inside to carry things such as a cell phone. Because of the pockets, you may not need to wear a running vest with it, but it is nice to know that you could wear one comfortably if that was something that you wanted to do.
This is a thin jacket and on cold days it may not keep you as warm as you might like. Customers stated that they could comfortably wear a long-sleeved layered shirt or a thin sweater under the jacket without it bunching up or being too bulky so you can stay comfortable and warm when out for your run.
