FAQs

What is Nike Storm-FIT technology?

Nike Storm-FIT technology is a high-performance fabric that resists elements like wind and water. It is designed to keep you comfortable and dry in harsh weather conditions by preventing moisture penetration and blocking wind.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket utilizes Storm-FIT technology to resist both wind and water, meaning it is highly water-resistant and will keep you dry in most rain conditions. While it's excellent for protection, garments are generally categorized as 'waterproof' only if they can withstand significant hydrostatic pressure; this jacket is designed for robust rain protection.

What material is the jacket made from?

The Nike Academy Pro 24 Hooded Rain Jacket is made from 100% polyester, including 100% recycled materials as part of Nike's sustainability efforts.

How do I clean this jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Does it have pockets for storage?

Yes, the jacket features zippered pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials and a place to warm your hands.

What kind of fit does this jacket have?

It has a standard fit, which is designed for a classic, comfortable feel, allowing for easy layering underneath.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

While it resists wind and water, providing a barrier against the elements, it's not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it's recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath due to its standard fit and material composition.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem to repel water effectively anymore.

Ensure zippers are fully closed and all fold-over bindings are correctly positioned. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. Try washing the jacket with a technical fabric cleaner designed to restore water repellency and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR.

Jacket feels too tight or too loose.

The jacket has a standard fit. If it feels too tight, consider sizing up. If too loose, sizing down. Always refer to the Nike sizing chart before purchase to ensure the best fit for your body type and intended use (e.g., if you plan to layer heavily).

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth. Work the zipper up and down gently. Avoid forcing it, as this can damage the zipper.

Unpleasant odor develops in the jacket.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. For persistent odors, a specialized sports detergent or an odor-eliminating wash designed for technical fabrics can be used. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
