Its key benefit is a water-repellent finish that keeps you dry in light rain, while an adjustable hood and secure zipped pockets offer practicality.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would offer more protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it with similar colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
What is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, with at least 50% of the main material consisting of recycled content.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Yes, it features secure zipped pockets to store your essentials.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable to provide a customized and secure fit.
What does the reflective ASICS logo do?
The reflective logo enhances your visibility in low-light conditions, which is beneficial for safety during early morning or evening runs.
What does 'water-repellent' mean in this context?
Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist moisture penetration. Water will bead up and roll off the surface in light precipitation. It is not fully waterproof, meaning it may not keep you dry in heavy downpours or prolonged wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems reduced.
This can happen over time with wear and washing. Consider using a technical wash or re-proofer specifically designed for waterproof/water-repellent outerwear. Ensure you are drying the garment according to care instructions, as heat can reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fit is too tight/loose.
The jacket is designed for an athletic fit. If it feels too restrictive, consider layering with lighter base layers. If it's too loose, the elasticated trims and adjustable hood help to create a more secure fit. For significant fit issues, check the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size.
