Product Information
Full details
The Under Armour Velociti Storm Jacket is designed for male runners seeking a lightweight, water-resistant, and breathable outer layer for runs in unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is providing protection from the elements without compromising comfort or freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it may not offer full waterproofing in heavy downpours. Key features include UA Storm technology for water repellency and breathability, a lightweight stretch woven fabric for comfort and durability, a back vent for enhanced airflow, secure zip hand pockets, and reflective details for low-light visibility.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Under Armour Velociti Storm Jacket features UA Storm technology which makes it water-resistant, meaning it repels water effectively in light rain or splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is primarily made from 87% Recycled Polyester and 13% Elastane, providing a lightweight, durable, and stretchy feel.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Under Armour. This jacket is designed for a standard fit suitable for athletic activities, so consider your preferred layering underneath when choosing a size. Common sizes include S, M, L, XL, and XXL.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed for breathability. It offers some wind resistance but minimal insulation. For colder weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed for durability under normal use and washing conditions. To preserve them, avoid high heat drying and ironing directly on the reflective areas.
What is the main advantage of the back vent?
The back vent enhances breathability by allowing hot air and moisture vapor to escape, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you more comfortable during intense exercise.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing.
Wash the jacket following the care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for performance apparel.
Jacket feels less breathable than before.
Ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent residue or body oils that can clog the fabric pores. Wash with a performance-specific sport wash if regular detergent is suspected of causing issues.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat when drying and do not iron directly on the reflective elements. Minor peeling might be difficult to repair; continued use with damaged reflective areas may reduce visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard running apparel. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent finish and fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If needed, use a cool iron setting, avoiding any printed or reflective areas.
- Maintenance: For best results, reapply a water-repellent treatment (like those compatible with synthetic running gear) periodically, especially if the water-repellency seems diminished after numerous washes.
