FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Nike Run Repel Impossibly Light Windrunner features water-repellent materials, which are effective against light rain and drizzle. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The jacket is available in Size M, L, XL, XXL, and S. Please refer to standard Nike sizing charts for apparel to ensure the best fit for your body measurements.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the lightweight design offers protection against moderate winds. The adjustable hood and full-zip front help to block out wind effectively.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

Packable means the jacket can be folded down and stored neatly into its own integrated pocket, making it very convenient to carry when not in use.

What is the benefit of the chevron design lines?

The chevron design lines are inspired by the original Nike Windrunner tracksuit jacket from 1978 and are set at a 26-degree angle, adding a classic aesthetic while contributing to the jacket's ventilation pattern.

How does the UV protection work?

The fabric is treated to block a significant portion of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering protection to the skin covered by the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance does not improve.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is taut. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels too thin for cold weather.

This jacket is designed for lightweight protection and breathability, not heavy insulation. Layer it over thermal base layers or a fleece for added warmth in colder conditions.

Packable pocket is difficult to use.

Ensure the jacket is laid flat and folded neatly before attempting to stow it in the internal pocket. Refer to online tutorials if you are struggling with the folding technique.

Care: To maintain the water-repellent properties and longevity of the jacket:

  • Machine wash cold with like colors.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry low or hang dry.
  • Do not iron.
