Salomon Bonatti Waterproof Jacket (Men) is a running apparel. Men's Bonatti WP — Salomon's go-to waterproof run shell for trail and road rain days; marketed waterproof without inventing HH numbers here — choose over Houdini when rain is steady, not just wind. I'd shortlist it for true waterproof run shell for sustained rain. The trade-off is warmer and less breathable than Houdini-class wind shirts — Janji Rainrunner Jacket (Men) is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a running apparel, not a one-product rotation.
