Product Information

Full details

The New Balance London Edition Marathon Jacket is designed for dedicated runners who need a reliable outer layer that balances heritage style with modern performance. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1978 Windcheater, this jacket offers wind and water resistance to keep you protected during long road runs, though its relaxed fit may feel slightly loose for those who prefer a highly aerodynamic, compression-style garment.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it provides protection against light rain and wind but is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged storms.

Can I wear this for casual use?

Yes, its classic heritage design makes it versatile enough for everyday wear in addition to athletic activities.

How should I clean the reflective elements?

Avoid scrubbing the reflective patches directly; simply wash the garment inside out to protect the surface from abrasion.

What is the material composition?

The jacket is made from durable, lightweight performance polyester.

Does it have pockets?

The design follows the classic Windcheater style, which typically includes side pockets for storing essential small items like keys or energy gels.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance feels diminished after multiple washes

Ensure no fabric softener was used and consider using a technical garment wash to restore water-repellent performance.

Jacket feels too loose during high-speed intervals

Adjust any internal cinching mechanisms if available, or layer a tighter base layer underneath to occupy excess volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective protection against wind and light rain
  • Includes high-visibility reflective detailing
  • Iconic, timeless aesthetic
  • Commemorative race branding

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may not suit runners preferring slim-fit gear

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-resistant properties and integrity of the reflective elements, follow these care instructions. Machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away technical coatings. Always hang dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. Because of its relaxed, standard sizing, you should choose your usual athletic size; if you plan to wear multiple layers underneath, verify the fit through the shoulders to ensure unrestricted movement.
