codoon brand windproof jacket review
The ginkgo leaves have turned yellow.
Sanlihe, Beijing,
has once again become a gathering place for literary youth.
After seeing it all over my social media feed,
I also wanted to go and take a literary look.
Due to the smoganda cold,
I had to cancel my registration for the Codoon onlineseconds per kilometer, I pushed myself to go faster...I had no choice but to give up.
This week, I registered again for the online10k
Even though I wasn't in the best condition,
I still managed to complete the run.
Since I had been using the Codoon app for a while,
I decided to get their running jacket.
Here's a simple review.
Appearance
Codoon recently released some running gear. I've been using their running app, so I've been keeping an eye on their products. The first time I saw this running jacket, I liked the color, so I bought it. I also got the women's version. Planning to show it off during my weekend run. (Couple mode activated, brace yourself for some PDA)
Of course, there are other colors. Both the men's and women's versions come in black, but I couldn't pull off black, so I chose blue.

Details
The details show the true quality, and I really like the details of this running jacket. The most thoughtful detail is on the sleeves.
It has added cuffs that can be pulled over the hands. I think this helps prevent wind from blowing into the sleeves and also adds a touch of style. I've tried ski jackets before, and most of them have windproof cuffs for the same reason.
Another detail is the zipper.
The zipper at the neck has an anti-pinch design. Previous sports jackets often had direct zippers, which sometimes pinched the skin—a painful experience.
Additionally, the zipper has a windproof flap, which is another thoughtful feature.
The zippered side pockets can hold items, but I recommend not putting anything too heavy in them to avoid feeling weighed down.
There's also an extra windproof layer inside to block the wind during runs.
Actual Review
The weather was clear over the weekend, perfect for a run. Usually, I run in parks, but this time I wanted to experience running on the streets, so I chose a less crowded street.
After a brief stretch, I started my run.
The weather was nice with a gentle breeze. I started sweating a bit after the first kilometer. The breeze became slightly stronger, and the northwest wind felt a bit chilly.
By the third kilometer, I was sweating a lot, and my clothes were getting soaked. Due to the weather and my not fully recovered cold, I felt thirsty. So, I recommend hydrating before running in autumn and winter.
The armpits, which tend to sweat a lot, were quite breathable, so I didn't feel stuffy overall.
After five kilometers of slow running, once my body warmed up, I maintained a pace of5minutes3030
seconds per kilometer. The windproof performance was good, and I didn't feel uncomfortable despite sweating.5512and
1210kBut in the last kilometer, I got a side stitch. Due to my cold and nasal congestion, I struggled to finish the
10k.
After the run, my back was soaked, but I didn't feel stuffy. I quickly went home to change. I recommend bringing extra clothes for outdoor runs, as even the most breathable quick-dry clothes will get sweaty.Summary: This windproof jacket is comfortable to wear, has good windproof details, and is breathable. It's quite cost-effective. The couple's version is also a cute touch. Hope you enjoy this PDA!
