Nike Stride Jacket - Blue

The Nike Stride Jacket is lightweight and designed for moderate temperatures or as a protective layer. It is not insulated and therefore not intended for very cold weather on its own.

Locate the internal pocket, usually on the chest area or side seam. Turn the pocket inside out and begin tucking the jacket into it, starting with the sleeves and body, until it is fully compressed and contained within the pocket.

Water-repellent means the fabric resists water penetration to a certain degree, causing water to bead up and roll off. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, offering a higher level of protection against wet conditions.

Yes, the jacket is designed with enough room for a base layer or a light mid-layer. However, adding very bulky layers may affect the overall fit and comfort.

The UV protection is built into the fabric. While effective, its performance may gradually decrease with extensive washing and wear over time.

The pockets are mesh-lined and designed to be moisture-wicking, helping to keep essentials dry from sweat. They are not waterproof and may not protect items from heavy rain.

The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged or heavy rain, consider a more robust rain jacket. Ensure the jacket is properly dried after each use.

Ensure the vents are not obstructed by other clothing layers or items in pockets. Check that the jacket is not too tight, which can restrict airflow.

Over time and with washing, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. Consider using a performance wash or re-applying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
