Product Information

Full details

The Nike Run Repel Impossibly Light Windrunner is designed for adult male runners seeking lightweight protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its exceptionally light, water-repellent, and UV-blocking fabric that packs away easily. A minor caveat is that while it protects covered areas from the sun, uncovered areas still require sunscreen.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How do I store the jacket when I'm not using it?

The jacket can be folded and packed into its own hidden inside pocket. A shoulder strap is included for easy carrying when packed.

What is the benefit of the chevron design?

The chevron design lines are inspired by the original Nike Windrunner from 1978 and are set at a 26-degree angle. The ventilated chevron also contributes to airflow.

Does the jacket have any pockets for storage?

Yes, it features zippered hand pockets for securing small items and a hidden inside pocket for packing the jacket itself.

How should I clean the jacket to preserve its features?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.

What kind of sun protection does it offer?

The fabric offers protection from UVA and UVB rays for the skin it covers. For uncovered areas, sunscreen is recommended.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

This jacket is designed for lightweight protection and breathability, not for insulation. It is best suited for mild temperatures or as an outer layer over warmer clothing in cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced

Wash the jacket with a technical wash or mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid fabric softeners.

Zipper is sticking

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is straight. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Ensure the bungee cord and toggles are clean and free of debris. If stiff, try wiping with a damp cloth.
