The Best New Outdoor Gear for Spring

The North Face Better than Naked Running Jacket

It's no surprise that when you start sweating, the clothing against your skin gets damp.

Thanks to a layered ventilation system that pushes heat and moisture out while you're running, you'll stay cool and fresh through to the last mile.

Bonus: It also includes mesh underarm and side panels that allow you to move freely as you run ($130, North Face).
