Running Responsibly
We are committed to a long-term, science-based approach to sustainability. We know it's time to think bigger about the impact our products and their full life cycle have on people and the planet.
Percentage of recycled content
-
This metric refers to the percentage of material by weight that has been recycled from post- or pre-consumer sources.
Number of plastic bottles
-
Our roadmap to use recycled raw materials initially focuses on post-consumer sources, such as plastic bottles.
-
With help from our suppliers, we calculate the number of plastic bottles used to make a size medium of each product.
Climate action
We are using sound science to address climate change and align our efforts across every level of our business to reduce carbon emissions. This includes product designs, materialization, manufacturing, and our global supply chain.

To keep your Brooks gear looking and performing its best, machine wash separately before wearing, try not to use fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat.
Pros:
Love the high-vis color and reflecting bits. The non-basic off-white is a nice touch to give the orange and black colorway some added appeal.
The ease of zipping up is good and smooth— no tiny or fiddly zipper hardware here. When fully zipped, the material doesn’t scratch at the neck, which is a common problem for gear like this with a high zipper.
The extra insulation in the front and not the back helps a lot to not getting too hot. All of the fabric is nice quick-dry stuff that lets you wick off sweat and dry fast (and more so in the back). Pockets are cozy for hands since there’s lining on both interior sides. I also appreciate the pockets zipping shut, to keep from flapping about open while running.
Cons:
I wish there were a tiny closable pocket somewhere for a key, though I understand the trade-off would be in a bit of added bulk wherever that is. (Maybe a key zip in the back collar?) There is a small sub pocket in the right front vent pocket, but I live in fear of things falling out of pockets that don’t close with Velcro or zip.
The snap closures at front are cool, a nice way to allow ventilation without having an open flapping vest, but I found myself pressing hard on them waiting for a satisfying click that never came. Basically they’re easier to close than it seems, so this is really something I just need to get used to.
Sizing:
The fit is a true medium. I’m typically an overall medium, size 10 pant, and 32G bra. For me, the fit is comfortably snug at the bust and a little looser in the lower torso and waist, so anyone who likes a looser fit or is at the top of their S/M/L size range might want to size up. Anyone with strong curves might not enjoy a perfect fit. Still, I liked the close fit because that makes it easy to toss another sleeved layer on top, whether for early in a run or for casual wear on errands.
Overall a great layering piece for running in the cold-weather months, and ideal for sub-40F!
The reflective strips across the front and back will be very helpful this coming fall/winter. We live in a relatively mild climate, and it gets dark soooo early in the winter, so I'll be able to use this for a quick jog after dinner, or even a walk around the neighborhood with my kids, and feel much safer in the dark.
One of the biggest issues I have when running is figuring out where to put my stuff (phone, keys, wallet). I sometimes use a running belt, but hate the feeling around my waist. I am really loving the pockets in this vest. They will hold the small items I need without driving me crazy.
Overall, this is a great vest and would be an awesome accessory for anyone who will be out and about in the darker hours in the coming cold season.
