When it comes to sportswear, Nike is king.  With a variety of jackets and pullovers for all occasions, the athletics giant is a one-stop shop for all outerwear needs.  Below are three Nike jackets that should cover you all year round.

All climate gear

Nike’s ACG line was designed to withstand even the toughest of climates, and the Nike ACG jacket is no exception.  Conceived in the rugged terrain of Moab, Utah, these jackets are made of 100% waterproof polyester Gore-Tex and provide great ventilation for outdoor activities.  With a smart black design, the ACG Terrain Minima Jacket comes with a storable hood and looks great whether you’re mountain biking in Swinley Forest or walking down high street.  The coolest feature: a hidden internal fitted media-player pocket, meaning you can bring your tunes with you while you tackle the unknown.

The heavy duty water-stopper

Heavy rain calls for something a little stronger, which is why Nike designs a number of packable rain jackets.  Made from Storm-FIT fabric completely impenetrable by rain and wind, these jackets give you everything you need for the odd downpour.  Because I like to be prepared at all times, I take my Nike rain jacket medium so that I can wear it under a pea coat for stand-by protection.

The ultimate in warm comfort

I hate walking out into the cold in the morning, but my days have been much brighter since I bought a down jacket.  My large Nike down jacket is surprisingly light and breathable, meaning I stay comfortable and perspiration free even when wrapped in warmth.  The best part about these jackets is that they contain an inner-elastic drawstring, which keeps the wearer from looking like a marshmallow despite being engulfed in duck feathers!  UK winters may be cold, but a down jacket will keep you warm all season long.

Did you know?

Nike may be a huge corporation now, but the company comes from humble beginnings; it was founded by University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman in 1964.
