Hi Abra,

I’m looking for a lightweight workout jacket that isn’t rainwear that will cover my bottom while I’m out and about. Something I can wear to school pickup, the grocery store, etc. that’s a little more modest than things that hit at the waist. And I live in the south, so nothing too heavyweight. And nothing shorter in the front and long in the back.  Can you help?  

Thanks!  Love the blog! Betsy

The more requirements you have, the more it limits your options and raises the cost of the solution.  You may have to compromise somewhere.  But let’s see what we can find.

I didn’t find many jackets that were long front and back, as well as dry weather attire.  This Full-Zip Jacket from Old Navy is one option.  This Lululemon Radiant Jacket is also nice, as is this Athleta Luxe Hoodie.

Looking for a jacket that is more like a coat?  This Victory Long Primaloft hoodie might be a little too warm, but it’s a great piece.   This LL Bean Luna Jacket is another good option.
