FAQs
What does 'Storm-FIT Adv' mean?
Storm-FIT ADV is Nike's advanced technology designed to provide superior windproof and waterproof protection while maintaining breathability, ensuring comfort in challenging weather conditions.
What is the primary advantage of GORE-TEX in this jacket?
GORE-TEX fabric is known for its exceptional breathability, allowing perspiration vapor to escape from the inside, which helps regulate body temperature and prevents the feeling of clamminess during physical activity.
How does the Asia Sizing differ from standard sizing?
Asia Sizing typically runs smaller or has different proportions compared to US or European sizing. It's recommended to consult the Nike sizing chart and measure yourself carefully before purchasing to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, this jacket is designed as an outer shell and performs well as part of a layering system. You can add insulating layers underneath to adapt it for colder temperatures.
How often should I wash my GORE-TEX jacket?
It's generally recommended to wash your GORE-TEX jacket at least once a year, or more often if it's used frequently or becomes dirty, as dirt and oils can impede breathability and the effectiveness of the DWR finish.
What should I do if the jacket's water repellency decreases?
After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a medium-high heat setting for about 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. If repellency doesn't return, you may need to apply a new DWR treatment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water beads are not forming on the surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket following the care instructions and then tumble dry on a medium-high heat setting for 20 minutes to reactivate it. If this does not work, consider applying a new DWR treatment spray.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to close.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush or an old toothbrush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.
Inner lining feels clammy or damp during activity.
This can be due to insufficient breathability, often caused by the DWR needing reactivation or the garment being too dirty. Ensure the jacket is clean and the DWR is active. Consider wearing fewer insulating layers if overheating is the primary cause.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zippers are functional before heading out.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as an outer shell and is compatible with various base and mid-layers for thermal regulation. Its gender-specific design is for males.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX and Storm-FIT ADV technologies, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners. Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium or warm heat setting for at least 20-30 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If tumble drying is not possible, hang dry, and then iron on a warm setting (low heat for synthetics) with an old towel to reactivate DWR.
- Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the fabric surface after washing and drying, a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product may be necessary.
