FAQs
Is the Under Armour Manataug Windbreaker fully waterproof?
No, it features UA Storm technology which provides water *repellency*. This means it resists light rain and moisture, causing water to bead up and roll off. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
What age group does 'Junior XL' typically fit?
While 'Junior' refers to kids' sizing, an XL would generally correspond to older children or pre-teens. For precise fitting, it's best to consult Under Armour's specific junior sizing chart, if available, based on height and chest measurements.
Can this jacket be worn in winter?
The Manataug Windbreaker is a lightweight outer shell and does not offer significant insulation. For winter wear, it can be effective as an outer wind-blocking layer, but it must be paired with appropriate thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers to provide warmth in cold conditions.
Does this windbreaker have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify whether this particular model includes pockets. Many windbreakers feature hand pockets, but this detail is not provided for the Manataug Windbreaker.
How often should I re-apply water repellent treatment?
The UA Storm technology's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish will naturally degrade over time and washes. If you notice water no longer beads up effectively, even after cleaning, it may be time to re-treat the jacket with a DWR spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear.
Is this jacket breathable during intense activities?
Yes, while providing wind and water resistance, the design and fabric choice for this windbreaker prioritize breathability and moisture-wicking properties to keep the wearer comfortable and prevent clamminess during active use. It balances protection with ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to repel water effectively anymore.
Dirt and residue from detergents can affect the UA Storm technology. Ensure the jacket is clean by washing it according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. If the issue persists after many washes, consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for technical apparel.
Jacket feels too cold in cooler temperatures.
The Manataug Windbreaker is designed primarily for wind and light rain protection, not insulation. For colder conditions, ensure you are wearing appropriate warm base layers and mid-layers underneath. It acts as an outer shell to block wind chill.
Restricts movement during active sports.
Verify that the jacket size (XL in this case) is appropriate for the wearer. While designed for mobility, an ill-fitting jacket can still restrict movement. Ensure you have room for layering underneath without it being overly baggy.
Fabric appears creased or wrinkled after washing.
To minimize wrinkles, remove the jacket promptly from the dryer once the cycle is complete. As ironing is not recommended, hang the jacket immediately to air out and allow any remaining creases to naturally relax.
