Product Information
Full details
The Nike Swift Fill Vest is designed for adult runners who refuse to let cold weather disrupt their training schedules. This lightweight garment provides essential core warmth through synthetic insulation and a specialized thermoregulating back panel, allowing for unrestricted movement during high-intensity runs. While it excels at trapping body heat and shielding against light precipitation with its water-repellent finish, potential buyers should note that it is a performance-focused layer intended for active use rather than heavy winter protection.

FAQs
Is this vest waterproof?
The Nike Swift Fill Vest is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this for activities other than running?
Yes, while designed for runners, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it an excellent choice for hiking, brisk walking, or general cold-weather athletic training.
How does the sizing run?
This vest is designed with an athletic fit for female runners. If you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider your standard sizing or sizing up.
What is the primary material used for insulation?
The vest uses high-quality synthetic insulation, which is designed to retain warmth even when slightly damp, unlike traditional down.
Does it have pockets?
The design focuses on weight reduction and movement; check your specific model's interior or exterior labels as pocket configurations vary.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
The outer coating can be refreshed by washing the garment and following up with a standard DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy
Tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the synthetic insulation evenly throughout the channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Nike Swift Fill Vest, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the synthetic insulation. If machine drying, use the lowest heat setting.

- Storage: Hang the vest on a wide-shoulder hanger to maintain the garment's shape during the off-season.
