Product Information
Full details
The Nike Swift Repel UV Jacket is designed for adult females seeking protection from diverse weather conditions. Its key benefit is offering water repellency and UV protection in a lightweight, packable design. A potential consideration is that while it offers protection, it is not intended as a heavy-duty rain or cold-weather garment. This jacket features a water-repellent finish, built-in UV protection, adjustable hood and hem, and a mesh back vent for breathability, all while packing down into its own pocket for convenience.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for protection against light rain, wind, and UV exposure. It is ideal for mild conditions and layering.
Can this jacket be used for heavy rain?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light moisture but not designed for heavy downpours. For heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out, find the designated internal pocket (often indicated by a label or seam), and fold the jacket into it until it fits snugly within the pocket.
What are the primary materials used in this jacket?
The main body is made of 80% polyester and 20% spandex, while the mesh vent is 100% polyester. This combination provides stretch, durability, and breathability.
Are the reflective details bright enough for nighttime running?
The jacket features reflective details for improved visibility in low-light conditions. While helpful, it's always recommended to use additional active lighting (like headlamps or strobes) for enhanced safety during nighttime activities.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Is there a warranty for this jacket?
Information regarding specific warranty periods is typically found on the retailer's website or the product packaging. Please refer to your purchase details for warranty specifics.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the jacket with a mild detergent (avoid fabric softener) and tumble dry on low heat. This can help reactivate the water-repellent finish. For heavily soiled items, consider a specialized technical wash.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the back mesh vent is not obstructed. For more strenuous activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking fabrics underneath. The jacket is designed for breathability, but extreme exertion can still lead to moisture buildup.
Zipper is sticking.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help smooth operation.
Elastic cuffs feel loose.
The elastic cuffs are designed for a snug fit. If they feel excessively loose after washing, it may indicate wear. However, ensure they are not being stretched excessively during wear or storage.
