Product Information

Full details

This Under Armour Insulated Vest in Black, size S, is designed for adult males seeking lightweight warmth and water resistance without sacrificing breathability. Its key benefit is providing core insulation for cooler conditions. A potential caveat is that it's a vest, offering less coverage than a full jacket. The vest features UA Storm technology for water repellency, a lightweight woven fabric for comfort and durability, and 80g synthetic insulation. It includes secure zip hand pockets and an encased elastic bottom hem for a snug fit.

FAQs

What makes the UA Storm technology effective?

UA Storm technology is a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the material from becoming saturated while maintaining breathability.

Can this vest be worn in freezing temperatures?

The vest provides lightweight warmth. For freezing temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over additional insulating clothing for adequate warmth.

What is the primary benefit of a vest over a jacket?

Vests offer core warmth while allowing for maximum range of motion in the arms, making them ideal for activities requiring upper body mobility or when layering is preferred.

How should I care for the insulation?

Follow the care instructions closely: machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid ironing and fabric softeners, which can degrade the material and insulation.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the lightweight woven fabric is designed to deliver superior comfort and durability while maintaining breathability, even with the added insulation.

What does '80g synthetic insulation' mean?

This refers to the weight (in grams per square meter) of the synthetic insulation material used. 80g is considered a lightweight insulation level, suitable for mild to cool conditions or as a layer.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the bottom hem is fully extended and not caught on underlayers.

Water is not repelling effectively

The UA Storm treatment may have diminished over time. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt can affect performance.

Insulation feels flat or clumpy after washing

Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the insulation.
