FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it is designed to repel light rain and wind, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

How should the jacket fit?

The jacket features a relaxed-fit silhouette, which is intended to be roomy and comfortable rather than form-fitting.

Is it safe to machine wash?

Yes, machine wash in cold water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain the material's performance features.

Can I wear this for non-running activities?

While optimized for runners, the classic design and performance materials make it suitable for casual daily wear or other active outdoor hobbies.

Does it have pockets?

The jacket design focuses on lightweight performance and streamlined aesthetics; please check the physical garment pockets for specific storage capacity.

Are the reflective elements visible from all angles?

Yes, the jacket includes strategically placed reflective elements designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions from multiple perspectives.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems less effective after repeated use

Dirt and oil build-up can affect performance. Launder the garment according to the care label to restore its breathability and protective properties.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean the zipper teeth of any debris or salt from sweat with a soft, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of the performance fabric, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-resistant finish over time. Hang dry the garment to protect the integrity of the reflective elements and the stretch-woven fibers. Because of its relaxed fit, this jacket layers well over base-layer technical shirts or lightweight hoodies during colder training days.
