FAQs

What is UA Storm technology?

UA Storm is a water-repellent technology that repels water without sacrificing breathability, helping to keep you dry in light rain and conditions.

How does the UPF 50+ protection work?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection for your skin during outdoor activities.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features water-repellent technology, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

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

It means the water-repellent finish used on the jacket does not contain harmful fluorine-based chemicals, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed with breathability in mind, featuring back vents and mesh panels. It can be comfortable in warmer weather if there is a breeze or light rain, but may be too warm during intense heat.

What is the primary benefit of the ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping, increasing its durability and lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket with like colors using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels clammy during activity.

Ensure the main zipper is partially open and the hood is adjusted to allow for better ventilation. The back vent is designed for breathability, but airflow can be further improved by adjusting the fit.

Minor fabric snags or tears.

The ripstop fabric is designed to prevent small tears from spreading. For minor snags, carefully trim any loose threads. For larger tears, consider professional repair or a fabric patch kit designed for outerwear.
