Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Running Jacket is designed for active women who refuse to let unpredictable weather disrupt their training schedule. It provides an essential layer of wind protection while maintaining a lightweight feel that won't hinder your stride or speed. While it excels as a versatile outer layer for road runs and warm-ups, users should note that this specific shell model is optimized for wind resistance rather than heavy-duty, prolonged rain protection.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The New Balance Running Jacket is designed primarily for wind resistance and light protection; it is not classified as a fully waterproof garment.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
This jacket serves as a wind-blocking shell. In colder temperatures, it is recommended to wear it over a thermal long-sleeve base layer to maintain core warmth.
How should I wash the jacket?
Use a gentle, cold-water machine wash with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a performance-oriented, running-specific cut. If you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy clothes underneath, you may consider sizing up.
What material is this jacket made of?
The garment is constructed from performance polyester, chosen for its lightweight durability and wind-resistant characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less effective at blocking wind over time
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the technical fabric's breathability and protective performance.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable after washing
This is often caused by detergent residue. Run an extra rinse cycle without adding soap to remove remaining chemical buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Running Jacket maintains its wind-resistant qualities, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild detergent designed for athletic performance wear.
- Detergents: Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the technical properties from the synthetic fabrics.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket whenever possible by hanging it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Storage: Hang the garment to maintain the shape of the athletic fit.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be worn over standard running base layers or sports bras, fitting true to size for a streamlined performance profile.
