Kirui's jacket was too long, too roomy, and created resistance. The same thing for Kipligat's jacket, and for Shalane's jacket .
Wind jackets need to be close to form fitting, good wind and rain resistance, but does not cause drag. Brooks wins that all day, I have a brooks jacket similar to desi's, but mine is all black.
Sales are going to boom for their jackets.
I was thinking the same while watching. I saw another elite with, what looked to be, an XL Adidas hoodie on. WTF? These are elites and this is the best gear they can get their hands on? The weather forecast was calling for this all week. No excuse.
I have a Nike windproof running jacket, size medium, and it fits great. Maybe the sponsors only provided XL gear they couldn't sell over the winter.
