<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-13_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-15_">Experienced and novice runners alike may wonder<span>&nbsp;</span><span>which running windbreaker to choose</span><span>&nbsp;</span>and why it is important to have one. Wearing a windbreaker during your run can be very useful for dealing with bad weather. Rain, snow and cold wind are elements that can impair your performance.&nbsp;<br><br>Mainly because of the chilling sensation that can freeze your muscles. Cooling you down drastically, even numbing your limbs and extremities. But also because hypothermia causes the body to consume much more energy to warm up its body temperature. This quickly deprives you of the full potential of your muscles. This is why Bodycross is here to guide you in your selection and show you<span>&nbsp;</span><span>which running windbreaker to choose</span><span>&nbsp;</span>for your training and competitions.<br><br>Right now, discover our<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://shop-bodycross.com/pages/vetements-running-homme" target="_self">pre-selection of men's equipment</a>&nbsp;and our pre-selection of women's equipment.</span></p>

<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-44_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-46_">To achieve specific performance goals, you must be able to train in the best possible conditions. This includes wearing suitable equipment that supports you during your run without hindering you.

<ul data-pf-type="List" class="sc-gHjyzD dQAIat pf-47_">
<li data-pf-type="List.Item" class="sc-itWPBs dKPonY pf-48_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-50_">Is the cut of the garment suitable for the effort you need to make&nbsp;?&nbsp;</span></li>
<li data-pf-type="List.Item" class="sc-itWPBs dKPonY pf-51_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-53_">Is the garment material strong enough to last during your sports activity&nbsp;?&nbsp;</span></li>
<li data-pf-type="List.Item" class="sc-itWPBs dKPonY pf-54_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-56_">Is the garment fabric designed for regular use in difficult weather conditions&nbsp;?&nbsp;</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-57_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-59_">Let's look together at which windbreaker model you should choose depending on the different types of running.</span></p>
<h3 data-pf-type="Heading" class="sc-bSqaIl iXTDAP pf-60_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-62_"><b>Sprinting</b></span></h3>
<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-63_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-65_">During a sprint, the runner's goal is to reach their maximum top speed as quickly as possible. To do this, you need great explosiveness at the start of the race. But also aerodynamics to be able to cut through the air and thus achieve significant acceleration.<br><br>Your garment must therefore be strong enough to withstand the forces when you use your body to push off. The seams must be strong so they do not tear from the movement of your arms and shoulders. But also, you should choose a product that fits close to the body so as not to create a "&nbsp;boat sail&nbsp;" effect. The THEO windbreaker, made of Nylon and Polyester, is remarkably strong. Lightweight and fitted, this product cuts perfectly through the air to help you gain a few precious seconds.</span></p>
<h3 data-pf-type="Heading" class="sc-bSqaIl iXTDAP pf-66_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-68_"><b>Middle-distance running</b></span></h3>
<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-69_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-71_">Middle-distance running requires you to know how to run fast for long minutes. The pace changes required by the activity raise your body temperature. Your body movements are large and your clothing must not hold you back.<span>&nbsp;</span><span>Which running windbreaker to choose</span><span>&nbsp;</span>to meet the demands of the race&nbsp;?<br><br>Bodycross invites you to choose a fitted fabric that protects you from the cold while regulating your body temperature. The BRANDON windbreaker has a double zip opening to promote air circulation. The collar and hood are fitted, providing optimized protection from the wind around your entire head, including your neck.</span></p>
<h3 data-pf-type="Heading" class="sc-bSqaIl iXTDAP pf-72_"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-74_"><b>Long-distance running</b></span></h3>
<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-75_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-77_">Long-distance running is an activity that can last for several hours and extend over dozens of kilometers. The movements are less large, but much more repetitive. You must therefore avoid the risk of fabric irritation on your neck or arms. Also, choose a lightweight product so you can feel free and light throughout the run. Which running windbreaker to choose to meet all these needs&nbsp;?<br><br>Bodycross invites you to discover the ORLANDO raincoat with its fitted cut and lightweight, fully water-repellent fabric. Take advantage of the back-underarm openings to easily ventilate your body without getting cold.</span></p>

<p class="sc-ehIJor eZpnKY pf-81_" data-pf-type="Paragraph"><span data-pf-type="Text" class="sc-BHvUt fJlZte pf-83_">In competition, time is short and every second counts. The garment must allow you to protect yourself in case of bad weather. However, you must be able to easily take it off if the sun comes out.&nbsp;<br><br>Once again, the THEO windbreaker is an excellent choice thanks to its high compressibility. You can fold and unfold the product in a few seconds in a zippered pocket located on the back. Extremely lightweight, this product weighs only 160g for a size M.<br></span></p>
