FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The adidas MT Waterproof Jacket is primarily designed as a waterproof shell. While it offers protection from rain and wind, it does not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, we recommend layering it over appropriate insulating mid-layers.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is crafted from 100% Polyester, offering a lightweight and durable solution for waterproof performance.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is typically machine washable. However, it's crucial to follow the specific care instructions on the internal label. Generally, use a cold, gentle cycle with a technical cleaner and avoid fabric softeners to preserve the waterproof coating.
Does the jacket have any adjustable features like cuffs or hem?
The product description specifies a full zip fastening, long sleeves, and a hooded neckline. Adjustable cuffs or hem are not explicitly mentioned in the available product information.
Is this jacket breathable?
As a waterproof jacket, it offers a balance between water protection and breathability. While it prevents water ingress, highly breathable fabrics often sacrifice some waterproofing. It's designed to be comfortable for active use, but heavy exertion in humid conditions might lead to some internal condensation.
How lightweight is the jacket?
The jacket is described with a 'lightweight construction,' making it easy to wear without bulk and convenient for packing. The exact weight can vary by size, but it's designed to be unrestrictive for active individuals.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less waterproof over time.
This is often due to the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating wearing off or becoming dirty. First, wash the jacket following the care instructions with a technical cleaner. If the issue persists, consider applying a new DWR treatment (spray or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof garments.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it's still stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Inside of the jacket feels damp despite it being waterproof.
This could be condensation from your body's perspiration rather than external leakage, especially during high exertion. Ensure adequate ventilation by slightly unzipping the jacket if conditions allow. Also, check for any small tears or punctures in the fabric that might compromise waterproofing; these can often be repaired with specific fabric patches.
Jacket has an odor after use.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a specialized sports wash to eliminate odors. Ensure it is thoroughly dried before storage. Avoid leaving it damp or balled up after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

For maximum weather resistance, ensure the zipper is fully closed and pull up the hood to cover your head and neck.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof performance and longevity of your jacket. As it is made of polyester with a waterproof finish, follow these guidelines:
- Washing:
- Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
- Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can clog the waterproof membrane and impair breathability.
- It is recommended to use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof garments.
- Wash with similar colors and fasten all zippers and closures before washing.
- Drying:
- Air dry your jacket by hanging it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
- If tumble drying is permitted by the care label, use a low heat or "delicate" setting. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof coating.
- Waterproofing Maintenance:
- Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to soak in rather than bead up. If this happens, you can re-apply a DWR treatment (available as a spray or wash-in product) following the product's instructions.
- Storage:
- Store the jacket clean and dry, ideally hanging in a closet, away from prolonged direct sunlight. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, which can affect the fabric's integrity.
