Top Picks


Women's running zip tops are built for the runs where the temperature does not stay still. Cold at the door, warmer after the first mile, breezy on open roads, chilly again once you stop. A good running zip top gives you warmth without trapping too much heat, with a zip you can adjust as the run changes.

Shop women's running zip tops at Pro:Direct Running, including women's half zip running tops, lightweight running zip tops, long sleeve running tops, warm running mid layers and women's running layers for daily training, warm-ups, cool-downs, gym sessions and winter miles. Find women's running zip tops from leading brands including Nike, adidas, ASICS, New Balance, PUMA and more.

For colder runs, look for women's half zip running tops with soft, breathable fabrics that hold enough warmth without feeling heavy. For harder sessions, lightweight running zip tops work well over a t-shirt, vest or sports bra, giving you coverage at the start and more airflow once the effort builds. The best ones sit close enough to layer under a jacket, but still give you room through the shoulders and arms.

The zip is what makes the piece useful. It lets you manage heat without stopping, which matters on tempo runs, hill reps, long Sunday routes and club nights where the pace keeps changing. Thumb loops, raised collars, reflective details and zipped pockets can all help depending on when and where you train.

Browse women's running zip tops by brand, fit, fabric weight and training use, from lightweight half zip running tops for steady miles to warmer running mid layers built for cold starts, winter sessions and post-run comfort.
