FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Nike Run Repel Impossibly Light Windrunner is designed with water-repellent fabric, which is effective against light rain or mist. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

The jacket can be stowed away into an inside pocket. Once folded, it becomes compact and easy to carry, often with the aid of an integrated shoulder strap.
What does 'Impossibly Light' mean?
It refers to the jacket's extremely lightweight construction, designed to provide protection without adding bulk or weight, ensuring maximum comfort during physical activity.
Does the jacket offer sun protection?
Yes, it offers protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. However, it is still recommended to use sunscreen on any skin areas not covered by the jacket.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron.
What is the purpose of the back vent?
The back vent is designed to improve airflow and breathability, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during intense workouts.
What is the sizing like for this jacket?
The jacket has a performance fit. Consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel or plan to layer thicker items underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently pull the zipper tab while trying to move it. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to unpick the fabric from the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or wax can help lubricate a stubborn zipper.
Water repellency has decreased
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly, avoiding fabric softener. Consider using a technical wash product designed to restore water repellency, or a spray-on re-proofer following product instructions.
Hood adjustment is difficult
Check that the bungee cord and toggle are not obstructed. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the grommets. If damaged, the cord may need replacement.
Jacket feels less breathable
Ensure the back vent is clear of any obstructions. Wash the garment to remove any buildup of sweat or dirt that might be clogging the fabric pores.
