Product Information
Full details
The Nike Impossibly Light Windrunner jacket in Green, size M, is designed for adult males seeking lightweight protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its barely-there feel combined with robust water-repellent and UV-blocking capabilities. A potential caveat is its primary function as a windbreaker and light rain protector, not a heavy-duty rain jacket.

Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully water-repellent after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impact water-repellent coatings. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance has significantly degraded over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip or a bit of clear lip balm to the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Jacket feels warm even though it's 'Impossibly Light'
While lightweight, the breathable fabric aims to manage heat. If you're overheating, ensure the jacket is not zipped up completely, or consider wearing lighter layers underneath during very warm conditions.
