Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for adult male runners seeking lightweight protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering water-repellency, UV protection, and exceptional packability in a breathable design. A potential caveat is that it is designed for light weather protection and may not suffice in heavy downpours or extreme cold. The Nike Run Repel Impossibly Light Windrunner is an ultra-lightweight jacket featuring water-repellent fabric, UV protection, and a packable design that stows into an internal pocket. It includes features like adjustable hood, full zip, back ventilation, and zippered hand pockets, inspired by the original 1978 Windrunner.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket is designed for light rain and water repellency. For heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket would be recommended.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the Nike sizing chart for men's apparel. The jacket is designed for a running fit, so consider if you prefer a more snug or relaxed feel when choosing your size. Available sizes include S, M, L, XL, and XXL.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket provides wind protection and is best layered over warmer clothing for cold weather. It does not offer significant insulation on its own.

How does the packable design work?

The jacket can be folded and stored inside a dedicated hidden pocket within the jacket itself. A shoulder strap is also included for easy carrying when packed.

What is the benefit of the back ventilation?

The ventilation slit at the back improves airflow, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during exercise.

How do I care for the water-repellent finish?

Wash in cold water with mild detergent and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners and ironing, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment. You may need to re-apply a DWR finish over time.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, it features an adjustable hood that can be tightened for a custom fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not shedding water effectively

The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for athletic apparel or re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Clean any debris from the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy or too warm

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity may still lead to warmth. Ensure the back vent is open and consider wearing lighter layers underneath. This jacket is best suited for light to moderate activity in mild conditions.

Jacket no longer packs easily into its pocket

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Smooth out the fabric as much as possible to achieve a compact fold.
