FAQs
What age group is this jacket suitable for?
This Under Armour Windbreaker Jacket is designed for youngsters, specifically children in the 'kids' age group. The 'S' size corresponds to a UK children's size 7-8.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent construction, meaning it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
How do I wash and care for this jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. It's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve its properties. Always check the specific care label inside the jacket.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Yes, this windbreaker jacket is designed with convenient side pockets, perfect for storing small items or keeping hands warm.
What material is the jacket made from?
Both the shell and lining of this Under Armour Windbreaker Jacket are made from 100% polyester.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it is windproof, this jacket is primarily a lightweight outer layer for protection against wind and light rain. For very cold weather, it's best to use it as part of a layering system with warmer mid-layers underneath.
What does the 'Iconic logo' symbolize?
The iconic Under Armour logo symbolizes speed, strength, and athleticism, representing the brand's commitment to performance and quality.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to repel water effectively anymore.
Ensure you are washing it according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Over time, water repellency can diminish; specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) sprays can be applied to restore this feature if needed.
Zipper is stuck or difficult to move.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to wiggle the slider up and down to free it. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil tip) can help if it's stiff.
Fit feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Under Armour sizing chart, particularly for children's apparel, as sizes can vary. This specific jacket is a 'S' or '7-8 UK children's size'. Consider the child's current measurements and how much layering is typically done underneath.
Jacket feels less effective at blocking wind than expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the elasticated cuffs and hem are snug. While windproof, strong, sustained winds may still be noticeable, but the jacket will significantly reduce their impact compared to a non-windproof garment.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the jacket's protective qualities and extend its lifespan. Always refer to the product label for the most accurate instructions.
- Machine Wash: The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric's water-repellent properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang to air dry. High heat can damage the polyester fibers and coatings.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing if possible. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron inside out.
