FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, it is wind and water-resistant. It will protect you from light rain but is not suitable for sustained heavy downpours.

Does it have pockets?

The jacket features a practical design consistent with the Windcheater series, though always check individual product pockets for specific storage capacity.

How should I clean the official branding?

To preserve the race branding, wash the jacket inside out and avoid ironing directly over the logos.

Is this jacket packable?

Because of its lightweight polyester construction, it can be easily folded and stored in a gym bag or backpack.

What does 'relaxed fit' mean for sizing?

It means the jacket is cut with extra room in the torso and arms, providing a more casual, non-restrictive feel compared to slim-fit running gear.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems less effective

Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off; consider applying a spray-on treatment for synthetic jackets to restore performance.

Fabric snagging

Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp objects to prevent pulls in the woven material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-resistant coating and the integrity of the reflective elements, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild, technical detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible by hanging the jacket in a shaded area. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can degrade the synthetic fibers.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  4. Compatibility: This jacket pairs well with standard moisture-wicking tech tees or thermal base layers for colder temperatures.
