FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket features UA Storm technology, which provides excellent water repellency, meaning it sheds water and keeps you dry in light rain. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the jacket has a wind-resistant construction designed to protect you from the elements, making it suitable for runs and activities in windy weather.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors, ensuring the garment is zipped up and inside out. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach (unless non-chlorine and only when needed), iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat.

Is it safe to run in low light with this jacket?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective taping for added visibility, enhancing your safety during low-light conditions such as early morning or evening runs.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from lightweight, super-durable woven polyester fabric.

Does this jacket use an environmentally friendly water repellent?

Yes, it uses a fluorine-free water repellent treatment, which is a more environmentally conscious choice.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?

No, it is explicitly stated not to use fabric softeners, as they can negatively impact the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be diminishing.

Ensure you are washing the jacket according to instructions: machine wash cold with like colors, zipped up and inside out. Crucially, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fabric and impair its water-repellent properties. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable after washing.

Check if fabric softener was used, as this can leave a residue that affects fabric texture. Ensure you are tumble drying on low heat. High heat can damage the fabric. Avoid ironing the jacket.

Reflective elements appear less visible.

Verify that the reflective taping is clean and free from dirt or mud, which can obscure its visibility. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storage, as moisture can sometimes affect reflective materials over time if not properly cared for.

Zipper on pockets feels sticky or difficult to operate.

Ensure the garment is clean and dry. Dirt or debris caught in the zipper teeth can cause sticking. Try to gently work the zipper back and forth. If possible, a tiny amount of zipper lubricant (designed for fabric zippers) can be applied, but be cautious not to get it on the fabric itself.
