FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The UA Storm technology is designed to repel water, making it effective against light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and fold it towards the interior left chest pocket. Stuff the jacket into the pocket until it is fully contained. The jacket is designed to be fully packable into this designated pocket.

What does 'fluorine-free water repellent treatment' mean?

It means the water-repellent finish on the fabric does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often referred to as 'forever chemicals'. This is a more environmentally conscious approach to water repellency.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

Yes, due to its lightweight nature and back venting for airflow, it can be worn in warmer weather for protection against wind or light showers without causing overheating.

What are the reflective details for?

The reflective details are designed to enhance your visibility to others during low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or nighttime runs, improving safety.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The product description states the fit is 'fitted'. This means it is designed to be close to the body for a streamlined, athletic silhouette, which is ideal for performance activities.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket with a mild detergent (no fabric softener) and tumble dry on low. If repellency is still low, consider applying a fluorine-free DWR spray or wash, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart for Under Armour apparel. This jacket has a 'fitted' design, which is intentional for performance.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, use a graphite pencil (lead) or a small amount of wax on the teeth to lubricate.

Jacket is noisy when moving (swishing sound).

This is a common characteristic of lightweight, crinkly ripstop fabrics designed for wind resistance. It typically lessens with wear and washing.

Pros and Cons

  • Improved visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Adjustable hood for a secure, personalized fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: While designed primarily for running, its lightweight and water-repellent properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, or casual wear in inclement weather. It layers well over base layers or light t-shirts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Do NOT use fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment.
  2. Bleaching: Do NOT use bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Do NOT iron or dry clean.
  4. Re-applying Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Re-apply a fluorine-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying, following the product's specific instructions, to restore its water-repelling capabilities.
