FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and mist. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to significant moisture.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out. Locate the hidden inside pocket, typically near the hem or chest area. Fold and stuff the jacket into this pocket until it is fully contained.
What does 'Impossibly Light' refer to?
'Impossibly Light' refers to the jacket's extremely lightweight construction, designed for minimal bulk and maximum packability without sacrificing essential protection.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for wind and light precipitation protection. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.
How effective is the UV protection?
The jacket provides protection for the areas of skin it covers from UVA and UVB rays. It is recommended to use sunscreen on any exposed skin.
What does the chevron design represent?
The chevron design lines on the front are inspired by the original Nike Windrunner tracksuit jacket from 1978, paying tribute to its legacy.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing, as these can degrade the fabric's performance and water-repellent properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel water-repellent
Over time, the water-repellent finish can degrade. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray designed for athletic apparel.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it continues to be stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.
Hood adjustment is not holding
Ensure the drawstrings are properly threaded through the stoppers and that the stoppers are fully engaged. Check for any damage to the drawstring or stopper mechanism.
Poor airflow despite ventilation
Ensure the ventilation slit at the back is not obstructed. Make sure the jacket is not layered too heavily underneath, which can impede natural airflow.
