FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Nike Impossibly Light Windrunner?
Its primary purpose is to provide lightweight protection against wind, light rain, and sun, making it ideal for running and other outdoor activities where comfort and minimal weight are prioritized.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
No, this jacket is designed for lightweight protection and is not insulated. It is best suited for mild to cool weather conditions. For significant cold, layering with warmer clothing underneath would be necessary.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
The jacket features a hidden pocket, typically in the back or a side pocket, designed for storage. Fold the jacket neatly and tuck it into this pocket. It's designed to be compact and portable.
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
Water-repellent fabric causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain or spray. It is not waterproof, meaning it will not prevent water ingress during prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What is the UV-blocking technology?
This feature helps to shield your skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, offering an added layer of protection during outdoor activities.
Does the jacket have reflective elements for night running?
The product description does not specifically mention reflective elements for night running. While the Chevron design may offer some visibility, it is advisable to add separate reflective gear for low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside.
This can be due to sweat. Ensure the back vent is open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath for better breathability.
Water is soaking through.
The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a more robust waterproof jacket. The water-repellent finish may also degrade over time; reapply a suitable treatment if needed after washing.
Zipper is sticking.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Packable pocket is difficult to use.
Lay the jacket flat and fold it neatly into the designated pocket. It may take a few tries to get the folding technique right. Ensure the pocket is completely empty before packing.
