As a Shopping Editor, I Can’t Live Without This ‘Rich Mom’ Spring Jacket (Now 25% Off!)

I’m very particular about my workout layers . . . especially this time of year! Mornings are chilly, afternoons heat up fast, and I need something that works for both without feeling bulky or restrictive. That’s exactly why I keep reaching for this rich mom-style jacket — now 25% off.

As a shopping editor, I test a lot of activewear, but this is one of the few pieces I genuinely wear on repeat. It’s the kind of layer I throw on for early walks, workouts and quick errands. Athleta’s Spring Sale is running now through May 2 (everything’s 25% off!), making it the perfect moment to finally grab a second color . . . or third!

I find myself grabbing the Salutation Jacket anytime I need an in-between layer. The Powervita fabric is honestly one of my favorites; it’s buttery-soft with just a little bit of support that hugs the body. And the high-hip fit is more flattering than my average workout layers.

The fabric is sweat-wicking and quick-drying (which I really notice when I go from a slow walk to a more intense workout), and the compression feels supportive without being too tight. I also love the little things like the thumbholes and zip pockets. At 5’3″, the fact that it comes in petite sizing makes it fit so much better. Finally, the UPF 40+ protection is a nice bonus, especially for outdoor walks and busy days.

The jacket has racked up more than 3,700 five-star ratings, with one reviewer praising its versatility for “walking, running errands and it’s perfect for traveling.” Another called the fit “incredible,” adding that it makes them “feel confident” and that it “hits in all the right places.”

I wear this jacket nonstop — and Athleta’s Spring Sale, makes it the perfect excuse to buy more colors. I’m already eyeing the bright pink spring shade . . . especially while it’s still on sale.
