The apparel is lightweight yet highly functional -- with the innovative nylon material used working to repel water and the discomfort of windburn with ease. The types of nylon it makes use of are titled the Hyper Light Membrana and the Membrana 3L TC, both of which work together to succeed in this function. In addition, the running jackets from NikeLab and Stone Island are perfect for traveling, as the apparel can be quickly folded down and turned into its own pocket. In order to enhance this feature, the brands include a strap that allows the running jackets to be slung over the shoulder and carried. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lightweight Running Jackets:** Opportunity to create lightweight and functional running jackets that repel water and windburn with ease. - **Packable Apparel:** Opportunity to design apparel that can be quickly folded down and turned into its own pocket for easy transportation. - **Collaborative Fashion:** Opportunity to explore collaborative partnerships in the fashion industry to create innovative and functional apparel. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sportswear:** The sportswear industry can leverage lightweight materials and innovative designs to create high-performance running jackets. - **Outdoor Gear:** Opportunity for the outdoor gear industry to develop packable apparel for adventurers and travelers. - **Fashion Technology:** Fashion technology companies can explore the use of innovative materials and techniques to create functional and fashionable clothing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Insulation Runner Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-acg-lava-loft-down-jacket.md) - [Adaptive Inflatable Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-milano-jacket.md) - [Utilitarian Technical Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-ispa.md) - [Weather-Resistant Performance Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-puff-jacket.md) - [Tactical Inclement Weather Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storm-jacket.md) - [Metal-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-islands-metal-mesh-jacket.md) - [Inflatable Olympic Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-thermafit-air-milano-jacket.md) - [Low-Bulk Trail Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futurelight-papsura-jacket.md) - [Sports Brand Workwear Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-life-fullzip-unlined-jacket.md)
