Running gear has evolved dramatically, and Odlo's new Zeroweight Dual Dry waterproof insulated jacket represents a breakthrough in all-weather performance. This award-winning running jacket combines waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability with ultra-lightweight insulation, creating the ultimate solution for dedicated runners who train year-round regardless of conditions. Unlike traditional running clothes that force you to choose between protection and breathability, this innovative design delivers both without compromise.
The innovation behind award-winning running gear
Odlo's category manager Richard Clevett identified a gap in the market during his runs through the Netherlands' challenging weather conditions. While plenty of running gear exists, none achieved the perfect balance of waterproofing, insulation, and breathability that serious runners demand. Building on their industry-leading Dual Dry platform, Odlo's team developed seven prototypes to create this revolutionary running jacket.
The result features a waterproof membrane weighing just 53g/sqm with a 20,000mm water column and an unprecedented 20/50 protection-to-breathability ratio. Teijin Frontier's OCTA insulation provides 50% more warmth than conventional fleece while remaining incredibly lightweight thanks to hollow core recycled fibres. Reflective details and a sophisticated adjustable hood with rain protection complete this technical masterpiece.
Performance features that redefine mens running clothes
This running jacket's strategic insulation placement sets it apart from standard mens running clothes. OCTA insulation targets the front panel and shoulders - your body's core and joints - while leaving the back panel uninsulated for optimal moisture evaporation. This design prevents the common issue where runners overheat and become drenched in sweat during intense training sessions.
The innovative 3L knit fabric construction allows unprecedented airflow and moisture management, making this jacket ideal for high-intensity running across all seasons. Whether you're tackling trail running in challenging conditions or pushing through demanding workouts, the jacket adapts to your body's changing temperature needs throughout your run.
Why this running jacket earned ISPO recognition
At the OutDoor by ISPO trade show in Munich, this running jacket earned prestigious recognition from industry experts. ISPO award judge Regina Henkel praised how "a wide variety of functions come together here in an optimal balance" - specifically highlighting the weather protection, thermal insulation placement, freedom of movement, and lightweight construction.
The award recognises Odlo's achievement in combining innovative technologies with practical design. For runners seeking serious running gear, this validation from industry professionals confirms what field testing already proved: this jacket performs unlike anything else currently available for all-weather running.
