FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Velociti Storm Jacket features UA Storm technology, which repels water and is ideal for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart for men's apparel. The jacket is designed for a performance fit, so consider if you prefer a slightly looser feel for layering.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The main body fabric is 87% recycled polyester and 13% elastane. Trims and embellishments are excluded from the recycled content calculation.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, its lightweight, breathable, and water-resistant properties make it suitable for other outdoor activities like hiking or cycling in moderate weather.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are integrated into the design for low-light visibility. Standard washing and drying procedures according to the care label will help maintain their effectiveness.
How does the back vent improve performance?
The back vent is strategically placed to allow for increased airflow. This helps to release excess heat and moisture generated during physical activity, keeping you more comfortable and dry.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels sticky or loses water repellency.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding bleach and fabric softeners. Wash using cold water and tumble dry on low. Consider a light tumble dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Reduced breathability despite the vent.
Ensure the inner lining and the back vent are free from debris or sweat buildup. Washing according to care instructions can help restore fabric performance.
