Odlo X-Alp vs Zeroweight
Choose X-Alp when you need a waterproof running jacket. Choose this Zeroweight version for wind protection and water resistance when a waterproof shell is not the requirement. Odlo identifies the checked models as 313702 and 313712; the similar running names should not hide that distinction.
Based on 128 included owner reviews.
The differences that matter
X-Alp uses a seam-sealed 2.5-layer waterproof construction with an adjustable running hood. Zeroweight uses water-repellent recycled polyester, back ventilation and a chest pocket. The manufacturer does not describe that Zeroweight version as waterproof, so it should not be substituted for mandatory waterproof kit.
Odlo lists size L at 231 g for X-Alp and 132 g for Zeroweight. The 99 g difference comes with a different protection category, rather than being a like-for-like waterproof weight saving. Both use an athletic fit, which still needs checking over your running layers.

Which should you choose?
Choose X-Alp for a waterproof requirement and check its fit with your running pack. Choose Zeroweight for the lighter wind-resistant role only when water resistance is enough. Confirm the product code, since another jacket carrying the broader Zeroweight name may have different specifications.
