Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket - Black

No, it features UA Storm technology, which makes it highly water-repellent and wind-resistant. This means it will shed light rain and moisture effectively, but it's not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, prioritizing breathability for active use.

The Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket is lightweight and designed for protection against wind and light rain. While it offers a degree of insulation, for very cold weather, it is recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.

This refers to the water-repellent coating applied to the fabric. It means that the treatment used to make the jacket repel water does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before folding or hanging to prevent mildew or odors.

Yes, the jacket is equipped with secure, zip hand pockets, designed to keep your essentials like keys, phone, or small items safe and prevent them from falling out during movement.

The jacket's design incorporates breathability despite its water and wind resistance. While any layer will add warmth, its lightweight fabric and construction aim to prevent excessive overheating during active use compared to less breathable alternatives.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can clog the fibers and reduce water resistance. Also, verify you are washing with cold water and tumble drying low. A clean jacket with proper care will maintain its UA Storm performance.

Check that you are tumble drying on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric and cause stiffness. Ensure no fabric softeners were used, as these can leave a residue. Air drying flat can also help maintain fabric integrity.

Gently clean the reflective tape with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be obscuring its brightness. Ensure it's not scratched or damaged during washing by following the 'zipped up & inside out' instruction.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. For stubborn odors, try adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (along with your detergent) or using a dedicated sports apparel detergent. Always machine wash cold and inside out.
