The Under Armour Cloudstrike Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult male athletes seeking reliable weather protection without compromising on breathability. Its key benefit is offering full waterproofness through UA Storm technology and fully welded seams, while a significant caveat is its loose fit, which may require careful sizing for a precise feel during athletic activities. This jacket is constructed from a durable, 2.5-layer bonded fabric that is both waterproof and breathable, featuring secure zip pockets, an adjustable hood, and cuffs for customized comfort. A notable aspect is its commitment to sustainability, with the main body fabric using at least 90% recycled polyester.

The 10k/10k rating refers to the jacket's waterproofness and breathability. '10k' (10,000 mm) indicates the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking. '10k' (10,000 g/m²/24hr) indicates the amount of water vapor that can pass through the fabric in a 24-hour period, representing breathability.
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low and do not iron or dry clean. Using a technical wash and a DWR re-treatment after washing can help restore performance.
The jacket offers 10k waterproofness, which is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate. However, for most athletic activities in typical wet weather, it provides excellent protection.
Yes, the loose fit is designed to accommodate layers underneath. You can comfortably wear a base layer and a mid-layer, such as a fleece or light insulated jacket, for added warmth in colder conditions.
This means the water-repellent finish applied to the jacket does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often referred to as 'forever chemicals.' This is a more environmentally friendly approach to waterproofing.
The hood features a bungee cord adjustment on the back. Pulling this cord allows you to tighten the hood around your head, ensuring a secure fit that stays in place and keeps rain out.
The Cloudstrike jacket is specifically engineered for athletes, focusing on a balance of lightweight waterproofness and breathability. It utilizes a 2.5-layer construction and UA Storm technology. Other jackets might focus on different features, such as insulation, higher durability, or a different fit.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using the recommended care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider applying a specific DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Check if the inside of the jacket is clean. Body oils and dirt can reduce breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure the ventilation features (if any) are not obstructed.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and cuffs are adjusted for optimal protection before use.
