FAQs

What is UA Storm technology?

UA Storm technology is Under Armour's proprietary water-repellent finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric, keeping you dry without sacrificing breathability. This jacket uses a fluorine-free version of this treatment.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The UA Storm technology provides excellent water repellency for light to moderate rain and drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof rain jacket might offer more comprehensive protection.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it. Always wash it cold with like colors, with the zippers zipped up and the garment turned inside out. Do not use fabric softeners.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, it features secure, zip hand pockets that are ideal for safely storing small essentials like keys, a phone, or energy gels.

Is this jacket good for running in low light?

Absolutely. The jacket includes reflective taping specifically designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, making it an excellent choice for early morning or late evening runs.

What material is the jacket made from?

The Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket is made from 100% Polyester, a lightweight and super-durable woven fabric.

Why can't I use fabric softener?

Fabric softeners can create a coating on the jacket's material that can compromise the effectiveness of the UA Storm water-repellent finish and also affect the fabric's breathability.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

Ensure you did not use fabric softeners during washing, as they can compromise the UA Storm technology. Washing the garment inside out and zipped up also helps maintain the fabric's integrity. If the issue persists, a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) restorer designed for technical fabrics may be considered, though this jacket uses a fluorine-free treatment.

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable after drying.

Double-check that fabric softeners were not used. Softeners can leave a residue that affects the fabric's feel and performance. Also, avoid high heat drying, as it can damage the polyester fibers; always tumble dry low.

Zipper is difficult to move or gets stuck.

Ensure the garment is zipped up before washing and drying to prevent stress on the zipper. If a zipper is stiff, try rubbing a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to ease movement. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Reflective taping appears less visible.

Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the jacket is washed inside out to protect the reflective elements from abrasive friction during the wash cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
