Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

This jacket features UA Storm technology, making it water-resistant. It can repel light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy downpours.

How do I wash and care for my jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

Can I wear this jacket in very hot weather?

While the jacket has breathability features like back vents, it is primarily designed for protection against water and wind. For extremely hot and humid conditions, you might find it more suitable for early mornings or evenings.

What is the benefit of the back vent construction?

The back vent construction, combined with interior mesh panels, enhances breathability by allowing hot air and moisture vapor to escape from the back of the jacket, keeping you more comfortable during physical activity.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable hood that can be tightened for a secure fit.

What are the pockets like?

The jacket has secure zippered hand pockets, perfect for storing essentials like keys, a phone, or small trail snacks.

Is the recycled polyester material durable?

Yes, the main body fabric uses recycled polyester, which is known for its durability and performance characteristics similar to virgin polyester, making it suitable for activewear.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

The fluorine-free water repellent treatment may be less durable over time. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the back vents are not obstructed. Check if the interior mesh panels are clean and free of debris. For very high-intensity activities in warm conditions, this jacket is designed for water resistance and wind protection, not maximum ventilation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Utilize the adjustable hood and bottom hem drawcords for a more snug fit. The encased elastic cuffs also help to secure the sleeves. If the overall fit is incorrect, consult the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size.
