Best Women's Athletic Tops with Thumb Holes

For the price, technical features and fit, the Xersion Thumb Jacket is the best jacket you will find this season. If you are looking for a versatile, lightweight athletic zip jacket for the fall or winter this is best in class! The jacket wicks moisture if you are planning a long run or unzips as you heat up and need to cool off during your workout.

Zip pockets are great for holding keys or an MP3 player. Pockets have mesh lining. You will also love that this jacket has a fold-down collar so you can stand the collar up for the colder days. Shop for this item at JCPenney.com and check out the low price of less than $50. ( I found it on sale for $29.99).

The jacket is made of polyester and spandex material so it is closer fitting but not completely fitted to allow for other shirts underneath to fit comfortably. This sport jacket is great for working out or as just an extra casual zip top for cooler days.

For the serious athletes or motivated recreational runners, the Nike Pro Thermal Top is the premier in cold weather performance apparel. The Nike Pro Thermal top features the thumb holes we love to keep hands warm during the cold weather months. The Dri-Fit fabric wicks the moisture away from your hands during your work out. This top is a bit pricey and retails for $50-$55 at NIke.com, Dick's Sporting Goods or Academy Sports and Outdoors.

Fit: This top is a sung fitted style and long in length to keep your waist warm. Contoured stitching on the arms and shoulders helps for the snug fit, but may be tight for those women with a C cup or larger. If purchasing online, consider purchasing a size larger in this if you have a medium or large chest. The top may be long in the arms for those who are very petite.

The thermal gear is similar to Under Armour Cold Gear material but can be found on sale more often than the UA brand products online and in stores. Best of all, thumb holes offer to keep your hands super warm!

The Asics TIL Wind Top for women has all the features in a half zip you will find featuring thumb holes. Lightweight mesh and lining blocks the wind and the top also features accent reflector fabric for safety. The Asics TIL Wind top is not fitted and designed to be breathable and lightweight.

Priced at the regular price of $70, this jacket is on the higher price end but if you are running early in the morning or in the evening in a windy climate often enough to spend the $70, it is worth the money. This half zip will top the wind from running through your regular layers and can be worn over another athletic top or shirt.

Pair or alternate this jacket with the ARD long sleeve Asics top for cool days this fall and winter.

Seeking a good value lightweight top? The C9 by Champion Women's Long Sleeve pullover sells for about $24.99 at Target. This lightweight knit polyester half zip top is a great value for the casual jogger or if you are just looking for an extra long sleeve top with thumb holes.

This is a semi-fitted style to wear with a snug top underneath. It also has an attached hood for the cold weather or windy days. Fabric provides UV protection and zip collar keeps you warm on chilly days. Alternate this with the C9 Women's Champion jacket at Target with a zip pocket for an mp3 player, also a great value at $29.99.
