FAQs
What does 'Storm-FIT Adv' mean?
Storm-FIT Adv signifies Nike's advanced technology that combines durable, windproof, and waterproof materials with engineered construction to protect you from the elements while remaining breathable.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof outer shell. For extreme cold, it should be layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets to provide adequate warmth.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. Given it's an outer layer, consider if you prefer a snug fit or room for multiple layers underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wear this jacket in warm, rainy weather?
Yes, the Gore-Tex fabric is breathable, making it suitable for warm, rainy conditions. It will protect you from rain while allowing some heat and moisture to escape.
What is the difference between Gore-Tex and standard waterproof materials?
Gore-Tex is a highly engineered membrane known for its exceptional balance of waterproofness, windproofness, and breathability, often surpassing the performance of standard waterproof coatings.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. A general guideline is to reapply when water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric, typically after several washes or extensive use.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish. If water still soaks in, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Reduced breathability
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a technical wash or mild detergent without additives, and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all cleaning agents are removed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve glide.
