Product Information
Full details
The Ronhill Core Running Jacket in Yellow (Size S) is designed for adult female runners seeking a lightweight, breathable, and functional outer layer for park runs or breezy training days. Its key benefit is providing protection from wind and light rain with DWR C6 treatment, while maintaining comfort through its breathable fabric and relaxed fit. A potential caveat is that it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof, meaning heavy downpours may still penetrate.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket is water-resistant due to its DWR C6 treatment, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C) and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean?
A relaxed fit means the jacket is not tight or form-fitting. It offers more room for movement and layering, providing a comfortable, casual athletic look.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, reapply DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Can I store my phone in the zip pocket?
The secure zip pocket is designed for essentials like keys and cards. While some smaller smartphones might fit, it's best to check the dimensions if you plan to store your phone there regularly.
Is the fleece-lined collar warm enough for cold weather?
The fleece-lined collar adds comfort and a small amount of warmth around the neckline. This jacket is primarily designed for mild to cool conditions and is best layered over warmer clothing for colder weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain.
This is likely due to perspiration. The jacket is breathable but can feel damp if you sweat heavily. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and consider opening the zipper slightly for increased ventilation.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The jacket features a water-resistant finish, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, a more robust waterproof jacket is recommended. The DWR treatment may also need reapplication to restore its effectiveness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat in the dryer and harsh detergents. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to force it. For significant damage, the reflective property will be compromised.
