Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Sportswear Insulated Vest is designed for active women who need a versatile layering piece that balances protection with mobility. Its primary strength lies in the UA Storm technology, which offers reliable water repellency without trapping heat, making it an excellent choice for unpredictable weather transitions. While it provides excellent core warmth through 80g synthetic insulation, it is worth noting that the vest does not provide coverage for the arms, necessitating additional layers during extreme cold or high-wind conditions.

FAQs

Is this vest waterproof?

It is water-repellent thanks to UA Storm technology, which means it will shed light rain, but it is not intended to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

Does it have an inside pocket?

This model features two secure exterior zip hand pockets, but it does not have dedicated interior pockets.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, machine wash cold with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low.

Is the insulation heavy or bulky?

No, it uses 80g synthetic insulation designed to be low-profile while still providing significant warmth.

How does the size XL compare to other brands?

The XL size is tailored for a standard UK 16 fit. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure the fit meets your personal preference for layering.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads up on the surface

The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need to be rejuvenated; try a tumble dry on low heat or apply a DWR spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or lint, and apply a small amount of paraffin wax to the teeth to improve glide.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Water-repellent finish keeps you dry in light rain
  • Synthetic insulation provides warmth without adding bulk
  • Highly breathable material prevents overheating during movement
  • Secure zipper pockets for convenient storage
  • Lightweight construction allows for easy layering

Cons

  • Sleeveless design limits total body coverage in freezing temperatures
  • Synthetic material may require careful laundering to maintain insulation loft
  • Limited to a single color option

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the UA Storm water-repellent finish, machine wash the vest in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents that can degrade the performance fabric. Tumble dry on low heat, but remove promptly to prevent wrinkling. The vest is compatible with standard casual or athletic wardrobes and pairs well with fleece mid-layers or moisture-wicking long-sleeve shirts. Avoid ironing the fabric, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the synthetic insulation and the weather-resistant coating.
