Remember those silver heat sheets at the end of your marathon run provided to you by event staff after your race? Now, 13-ONE is introducing their NASA developed technology fabric (just like heat sheets) for everyday wear in a jacket offering in various styles – half zip, fill zip, and trench (women only). 13-ONE is a small business that started as a Kickstarter project in 2016 and has been in business for a few years now. My wear tester and myself has been fortunate enough to test out their full zip and half zip, warm and water-repellent jackets targeting athletes (especially runners), outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, or just about anyone who need a warm jacket for every day use.

Every 13-One jacket uses proprietary Silver Lining® Technology, a radiant barrier developed by scientists at NASA for astronauts. Known as “Heatsheets®”, this technology allows their jackets to harness natural energy sources, like body and solar heat, to protect against heat, wind, rain and cold by reflecting up to 90% of your body heat back to you.
After wearing these jackets for a few weeks, our conclusion is that with the current design, the 13-ONE jackets are perfect for pre- and post-run activities. We nit-picked the design because the full zip is a little long and tight on my shoulders so slightly ‘in-the-way’ when running. Additionally, the zippers could be more free flowing (slightly tight)…
Compared to a few of our Gore-Text Windstopper running jackets (Gore, Puma), 13-ONE jackets are a lot more breathable and does not accumulate sweat! Bonus are the magnetic closures on the pockets. But it is lacking a chest pocket for carrying (no bounce) keys or access cards etc. Fortunately my running shorts come with 5 secured pockets (Altra & Path brands).

I love traveling with my kids (millennials) in Europe & Asia pre-pandemic and we make it a requirement to pack light (no delays, lost luggage, extra charges, etc.) so never have any check-in luggage. The 13-ONE jackets easily convert from a jacket to a pouch (built-in) in minutes. See this YouTube video for details. And being water-repellent, we bring one less umbrella for the family!

The 13-ONE jackets have tons more features in a very affordable price ($115 for half-zip, $125 for full-zip) for the technology included. If you hurry, you might still be able to get a 30% discount using code FALL2020. Enjoy!
