Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour UPF Hike Jkt Sn63 is designed for adult males seeking protection and comfort during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering robust weather resistance and UPF sun protection in a lightweight, durable jacket. A potential caveat is that the fluorine-free water repellent treatment may not be as long-lasting as traditional treatments. This jacket features UA Storm technology for water repellency, windproof ripstop fabric, significant sun protection, and enhanced breathability through back vents with mesh panels. It also includes secure zip pockets and adjustable features for a personalized fit, while utilizing recycled polyester in its main body fabric.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket features UA Storm technology, making it water-resistant, meaning it repels water. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide protection in heavy downpours.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays when worn.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use only chlorine-free bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and ironing, and do not dry clean.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for protection against wind and light rain, with sun protection. It is lightweight and best suited for mild to cool conditions, or as an outer layer over warmer insulation in colder weather.

What is the advantage of the fluorine-free water repellent treatment?

Fluorine-free treatments are more environmentally friendly, as they avoid the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which can be persistent in the environment.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size chart and choose your size (M, L, XL available). The adjustable hood, hem, and cuffs allow for fine-tuning the fit for comfort and to seal out elements.

What is the main body fabric made of?

The main body fabric contains at least 50% recycled polyester, excluding trims and embellishments, for a more sustainable construction.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing. Gently tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If issues persist, consider using a technical wash or re-treatment spray designed for outdoor gear.

Jacket feels warm or less breathable.

Open the main zipper and chest/back vents if applicable. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers. The jacket is designed for moderate conditions; for extreme heat, consider lighter options.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper track is dirty, a soft brush can clean it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
