Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features UA Storm technology and a water-resistant finish, designed to repel water and keep you dry in wet conditions. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to heavy rain, for which a fully waterproof jacket would be necessary.
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
It is best suited for runs in cool, damp, or misty conditions, light rain, and windy days where water resistance and breathability are key.
Can I wear a fleece or thicker layer underneath?
The jacket has a streamlined fit. While you can layer a thin base layer or a very light fleece, a bulky layer may feel restrictive. It's designed to be worn over a t-shirt or light long-sleeve shirt.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid ironing.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed to withstand normal wear and washing. To prolong their life, avoid excessive abrasion and follow the recommended care instructions.
What is the benefit of the back vent?
The back vent enhances airflow and ventilation, helping to release excess heat and moisture generated during physical activity, which improves comfort and prevents overheating.
Does this jacket contain recycled materials?
Yes, the main body fabric of the jacket contains at least 80% recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the jacket with a mild detergent (no fabric softener) and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If effectiveness is still low, consider applying a new DWR treatment suitable for athletic apparel.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Ensure the back vent is not obstructed. Check that the garment is not overlayered underneath for the current temperature. Wash the jacket to remove any sweat or residue that might be blocking breathability.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Gently pull the zipper. If it's stiff, rub a pencil lead (graphite) or a dry bar of soap along the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with standard athletic wear for layering. To maintain its water-resistant properties and fabric integrity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use only mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane that provides water resistance.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the water-repellent finish.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, steam lightly on a low setting.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-applying Water Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on water repellent treatment designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
