Like other track suit tops, Outlier’s Track Jacket is designed for technical performance when running, training, or playing golf. Except, instead of making you look sporty, it makes you look like you’re either spending a day at the office or partying at a high-end club. Seriously, the darn thing looks dressier than some of my work shirts.
That’s right, Outlier made a dressy-looking track jacket, so you can run around the track oval looking totally out of place. Why? We’re not exactly sure, but this thing looks so unlike traditional track jackets that we’re almost certain you can get away with wearing them to work.
Outlier calls their Track Jacket “an experiment in minimalism.” We guess that’s legit, since the darn thing looks like a plain dress shirt, with no visible shoulder seams, front hem, or even front pocket openings. It’s made from a summer-ready ultralight blend of of nylon that wicks sweat, blocks UV rays (UPF 50 rating), and even provides a four-way stretch to give you freedom of movement during athletic activity. They also threw in Nanosphere treatment, so you can spill anything on the jacket and have it slide right on down, whether it’s your protein drink, iced coffee, or a post-workout beer (yeah, you’re horrible at nutrition).
Features include a two-way full-length front zipper, discreetly zippered side vents, bonded seams, and discreet front pockets (seriously, you can’t tell they’re there). It comes in six colors, with matching track pants available, too.
Want one? The Outlier Track Jacket is priced at $495.
