Second one. Worth the price
This is my go-to coat for running and cycling. I had one and left it in a car. Bought another cause I couldnt go without it. Fits great. Packs so slim. Price is outrageous. . . Don't regret but serious hinder.

Perfect Light & Fast Layer
This has been my go-to for light and fast runs. It provides just enough protection from the wind to inspire confidence for those long treks in the mountains without loading down with bulk or weight. I recently took this out for a 40mi ultra marathon through the CO Rockies and was perfect for that. In moderate to heavy rain you will get wet, but it still creates a barrier from the wind and insulates in the heat so even if you do get wet you're warmer than if you didn't have it. 5/5!
