FAQs
What does 'Storm-FIT ADV' mean?
Storm-FIT ADV is Nike's technology that combines specific materials and construction techniques to provide advanced protection against wind and rain, enhanced by an understanding of athletic movement and environmental conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket provides excellent protection against wind and water. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered. Add a warm insulating layer (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath for cold-weather performance.
How does Asia Sizing differ from standard sizing?
Asia Sizing typically runs smaller and slimmer than US or EU sizing. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by Nike for this product and measure yourself carefully before purchasing.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?
Yes, the jacket's GORE-TEX construction offers high breathability, making it suitable for high-intensity activities where managing moisture is crucial. However, for very strenuous activities in warmer, non-precipitating conditions, a lighter, more specialized running jacket might be preferred.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. Generally, reapply DWR when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
What is the 'Misery Ridge' model?
The 'Misery Ridge' designation typically refers to a specific design within the Nike ACG line that emphasizes ruggedness and preparedness for challenging mountain environments, often featuring enhanced durability and weather protection features.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof; water soaks into the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a new DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. If the GORE-TEX membrane itself is compromised, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zippers with water and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores. Check that internal vents or pit zips are open. Avoid wearing non-breathable base layers underneath.
Seam tape is peeling.
This may indicate a manufacturing defect or significant wear. Contact Nike ACG customer support for potential warranty or repair options.
