FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the ASICS Core Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy or prolonged downpours.
How do I wash the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colors. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impair the water-repellent properties.
What is the purpose of the underarm mesh panel?
The underarm mesh panel is designed to enhance breathability, allowing air to circulate and helping to regulate body temperature during high-output activities.
Can I store essentials in the pockets?
Yes, the jacket features side zippered pockets, which are ideal for securely storing small essentials like keys, a phone, or energy gels.
What size should I order?
Refer to the product description for model sizing. It is generally recommended to choose your standard size. The jacket has elasticated trims and an adjustable drawcord hem for a customizable fit.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and designed for protection against wind and light rain. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. For enhanced repellency, consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray suitable for performance apparel.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy during intense activity.
While breathable, during very high exertion, some moisture buildup can occur. Ensure the underarm mesh panels are unobstructed and consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath.
