Its key benefit is offering water repellency and wind resistance in an incredibly light package, allowing for maximum mobility.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The UA Storm technology offers good protection against light to moderate rain and wind. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The jacket has a 'fitted' design. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Under Armour men's apparel and measure your chest and waist for the most accurate fit. Consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel or plan to layer significantly.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

While it's lightweight and breathable, it is designed for protection against the elements. In very warm, dry conditions, it might be warmer than necessary, but the back venting does help with airflow.

How does the packability feature work?

The entire jacket can be folded and stuffed into the interior left chest pocket. This creates a compact package that is easy to store or carry.

What does 'fluorine-free water repellent treatment' mean?

This means the water-repellent finish does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often found in DWR (durable water repellent) finishes. This is an environmentally friendlier approach to water resistance.

Are the reflective details durable?

Reflective details are typically screen-printed or heat-transferred onto the fabric. They are designed to withstand normal washing and wear but can degrade if subjected to excessive heat (like high dryer settings) or harsh abrasion.

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Nylon ripstop woven fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The fluorine-free water repellent treatment may need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions without fabric softener, and consider applying a re-waterproofing spray designed for technical apparel.

Jacket feels noisy or crinkly.

This is characteristic of the lightweight ripstop fabric. The sound may lessen with washing and wear. Ensure the jacket is not excessively wrinkled by following drying instructions.

Zipper is sticking.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to stick, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Hood bungee is not holding its adjustment.

Check that the cord lock mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is threaded properly through the lock. If the cord lock is damaged, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly breathable, preventing overheating during intense activity.
  • Very lightweight and packable for convenience.
  • Thoughtful design features for runners, like the no-bounce hood and secure pockets.
  • Increased visibility due to reflective details.

Cons

  • Fitted design may not be preferred by all runners.
  • Primarily designed for light to moderate weather conditions, not heavy downpours.
  • Ripstop fabric, while durable, may have a slightly crinkly sound.
  • The fluorine-free water repellent treatment may require reapplication over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for running and other athletic activities. Its lightweight and packable nature makes it suitable for layering under or over other athletic apparel. It is compatible with running accessories such as hydration vests and running belts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Do NOT use fabric softeners, as they can impede the water-repellent finish.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. Avoid ironing directly on any prints or reflective details.
  5. Maintenance of Water Repellency: To restore or maintain the water-repellent finish, a post-wash treatment with a specific fabric protector spray for outdoor gear can be applied, following the product's instructions. Avoid dry cleaning.
