Nike Repel Miler Jacket - Black

No, the jacket is designed with water-repellent woven poly fibers, meaning it will effectively repel light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy downpours over an extended period.

The Repel Miler Jacket is primarily a lightweight shell for rain protection. It does not offer significant insulation for very cold weather. For cold conditions, it's best worn as an outer layer over insulating base and mid-layers.

The jacket is machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, and it's best to air dry it to preserve the water-repellent finish.

The reflective Swoosh and Chevron design are incorporated to enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or nighttime runs, contributing to your safety.

To pack, lay the jacket flat and zip it up. Fold the sleeves and sides towards the center to create a narrow strip. Then, start rolling or folding the jacket from the bottom hem upwards, working it into the designated side pocket until it's fully enclosed.

The 100% polyester fabric provides good water repellency and is lightweight. While suitable for active use, its breathability might be less compared to highly technical fabrics with ventilation panels, especially in very humid or hot conditions. It's designed to manage light moisture from the outside.

The jacket features a standard athletic fit, designed to allow for comfortable movement during running and other activities, while also accommodating light layering underneath.

The water-repellent finish (DWR) may be wearing off or is masked by dirt and oils. First, wash the jacket following the care instructions (machine wash cold, mild detergent, no fabric softener). If the issue persists after washing and air drying, consider reapplying a DWR treatment designed for performance outerwear.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the conditions. While water-repellent, the 100% polyester fabric may retain more heat than some highly breathable materials during intense activity in warm, humid weather. Try wearing a lighter, more breathable base layer underneath or use the full-length zipper to increase ventilation.

To pack efficiently, lay the jacket flat, zip it up fully. Fold the sleeves and sides inward to create a narrow rectangle. Start rolling or folding from the bottom hem towards the pocket opening, then carefully stuff the rolled jacket into the designated pocket. It may require a few attempts to get the knack of it.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, clean the zipper thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If cleaning doesn't help, a small amount of zipper lubricant (available at outdoor stores) can be applied to the teeth to improve smoothness.
