FAQs
What does 'Storm-FIT ADV' mean?
Storm-FIT ADV is Nike's advanced technology designed to provide superior wind and waterproof protection while remaining breathable and comfortable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed as a wind and waterproof outer layer. It offers protection from the elements but is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Nike. The product description notes the model is 5'11'' and wears a size medium, which can offer a reference point. It's recommended to check measurements against your own body.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
How do I make the jacket waterproof again if it seems to be leaking?
The water repellency can often be restored by tumble drying on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes. If this doesn't help, a re-waterproofing treatment may be needed.
What is the benefit of the packable design?
The packable design allows you to easily store the jacket in a small space, like a backpack or gym bag, making it convenient to carry with you for unexpected weather changes without adding significant bulk.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is cut from durable nylon.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
Reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes. If performance has significantly degraded, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper while applying slight upward pressure on the fabric around it. If debris is visible, try to clean it with a small brush. Lubricating the zipper teeth with graphite from a pencil or a wax-based product can help.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose.
Ensure the cuffs are clean. Over time, elastic can lose some elasticity. Proper care as outlined above will help maintain their integrity. The jacket is designed for a standard fit; consider layering options if a tighter cuff feel is preferred.
