FAQs
What is the main benefit of the UA Storm Technology?
UA Storm Technology provides a durable water-repellent finish that actively repels water without adding weight, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable in light wet conditions.
How does the packaway design work?
The jacket can be folded and packed into its own integrated pocket, zipping shut to create a compact and portable item, perfect for carrying when not in use.
What does the 5K/5K rating mean?
The 5K/5K rating indicates the jacket's ability to withstand 5,000 mm of water pressure (water resistance) and allow 5,000 g/m²/24h of moisture vapor to pass through (breathability).
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket is designed for light showers and windy conditions. For heavy rain, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be more appropriate.
How should I wash the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable at 30°C. Avoid using fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Due to its unlined and lightweight design, it's best suited for mild to cool weather, or as a layering piece over warmer clothing in colder conditions.
What is the purpose of the carry loop?
The carry loop, located on the packed pocket, allows the jacket to be easily attached to a backpack, belt loop, or other gear for convenient transport.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
This can happen over time. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor gear. Ensure the garment is clean before applying.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pocket
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and laid flat before attempting to fold it into its designated pocket. Smooth out wrinkles as you fold to achieve a more compact result.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket is not breathable during activity
While designed for breathability, intense activity may still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure you are not layering too many heavy items underneath. Check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and debris can clog the fabric pores.
