Product Information
Full details
This Ronhill Core Running Jacket in Yellow (XL) is designed for female adult runners seeking a lightweight, breathable, and functional outer layer for breezy training days or runs in the park. Its key benefit is providing wind and water resistance without compromising breathability, keeping you comfortable in varied conditions. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may not suit those preferring a very snug, performance-oriented cut. Key features include water resistance with DWR C6 treatment, wind resistance, enhanced breathability, reflective trim for visibility, a relaxed fit, and a secure zip pocket.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-resistant finish (DWR C6) which is suitable for light rain or showers. For prolonged or heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low heat setting after washing to help reactivate the DWR treatment.
What is the purpose of the fleece-lined collar?
The fleece-lined collar is designed to provide extra comfort and warmth around your neck, preventing irritation and chafing during your run.
Can I store my phone in the pocket?
The secure zip pocket is suitable for essential items like keys or cards. While a standard smartphone might fit, it could be a tight squeeze depending on the phone size, and we recommend ensuring it is fully zipped for security.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
Periodically reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application. Gentle washing and avoiding fabric softener also help preserve the finish.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean for this jacket?
A relaxed fit means the jacket is cut with more room around the body and sleeves compared to a slim or athletic fit. This allows for easier movement and the option to wear layers underneath without feeling restricted.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The reflective trim is designed for visibility and durability under normal running conditions. To maintain them, avoid excessive abrasion and high heat during washing and drying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-application.
Jacket feels clammy or too warm
Check that the main zipper is partially open for ventilation. Ensure you are not layering with excessively warm base layers. The fabric's breathability can be affected by high humidity or heavy exertion.
Zipper is difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Reflective trim is peeling or damaged
Avoid harsh scrubbing or high heat drying. If minor peeling occurs, try ironing over it with a cloth as a barrier on a low setting. Significant damage may affect visibility.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, following the product instructions (e.g., using a spray or wash-in product). Iron on a low heat setting after washing (with a towel over the print) to help reactivate the DWR treatment.
