ROBBE: The tight completes the bottom half of the cold-weather Carbonite set.

You can pair it with a t-shirt for warmer mornings, or Brooks’ Notch Thermal long sleeve (more on that later) for the cooler mornings. Since this jacket is so thin, it works for a variety of temperatures. The cuffs are elastic, fit snugly around the wrist and come with thumb loops, which I love. You’ll also find vented panels in the back for extra airflow as you run.

The jacket is breathable and features a 4-way stretch material for a full range of motion. Trust me when I say, no one will miss you in this jacket. It’s designed for the early morning and evening runs and features 3M Scotchlite Carbon Black Stretch reflectivity. MEAGHAN: The Carbonite Jacket is a thin, wind and water-resistant shell. That’s just my opinion, and it’s not a deal-breaker, but thought I should point it out.’ To me, it just felt a little… off? I prefer a very trim fit, and the jacket seemed a little baggy in the chest and upper arms. The only thing I didn’t love about the jacket was the overall fit. When your hands are cold and wet, it’ll still be easy to move up and down. I also loved the oversized rubber-tipped zipper pull, a very nice touch that is often overlooked. Bonus points for the longer back hem to keep rain/cold out when bending over. Drives me absolutely insane when jackets don’t have pockets. Also, it has two zippered hand pockets, thank God. The construction is top-notch, with quality hems and cuffs (with thumb loops) that are also reflective. It’s also water-resistant with DriLayer Seal protection, so while it won’t keep downpours out, it will keep you dry in light rain. The jacket is super light and breathable, so much so that it’s pretty much see-through. Instead of relying on ugly neon everyhwere (yes, it still has some neon hits), Brooks threw on a bunch of the reflective black tape in all the right places, and let me tell ya– when a headlight hits it, it’s visible. Especially because of the revolutionary 3M Scotchlite Carbon Black tape. ROBBE: We were hyped on this key piece of the Run Visible collection when we saw it last year at The Running Event.

The shoe is now available in new colorways (like the one pictured), as well as a slick-looking black and neon colorway as part of the Run Visible collection. For an in-depth performance review, check out our review of the shoe from earlier this year. ROBBE: A comfortable Fit Knit upper wraps the foot snugly, while a lighter DNA Amp midsole provides a slightly firm ride in this daily trainer. Really cool, and we hope to see it in more products going forward.Īnyway, check out this year’s lineup and pick up some goods to keep you going through the fall and winter. And it’s barely noticeable until it’s hit with a light, at which point it shines like a Clark Griswold Christmas display. While reflective elements in the past were either too obtrusive or not bright enough, the 3M tape seamlessly blends in with the fabric (it even stretches!). To achieve this, Brooks added an excellent design touch to their apparel, with strategically placed 3M Scotchlite Carbon Black tape. The highlight (no pun intended) of this fall is the Run Visible collection, pieces made to stand out in the dark without looking like a walking highlighter. We’ve had our share of experience in the shoes, and even some gear, so we were excited to get back into it for this review of the Fall 2020 collection. While they used to make an array of sports gear, they’re now all about getting out the door and putting one foot in front of the other. At this point, Brooks is synonymous with running.
