Product Information
Full details
This Under Armour Packable Windbreaker Jacket is designed for active kids, offering lightweight protection against wind and light rain. Its key benefit is the packable design, allowing it to easily stow away for on-the-go use. A minor caveat is that it's unlined, making it best suited for mild weather rather than extreme cold. It features UA Storm Technology for water-repellency and windproof protection, a 5K/5K water resistance and breathability rating, and a convenient packaway design with a carry loop.

FAQs
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for windy conditions and light rain or showers. It provides windproof protection and a water-repellent finish, but it is unlined and not designed for heavy downpours or cold, wet weather.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out, fold it neatly into a compact shape, and then stuff it into the internal pocket. Zip the pocket closed to secure it.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
No, the jacket is unlined and designed for lightweight layering. It offers wind and light rain protection but does not provide significant insulation for cold temperatures.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 30°C. It's recommended to wash with similar colors and avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning.
What does the 5K/5K rating mean?
The 5K/5K rating refers to the jacket's performance: 5,000 mm indicates its water resistance level (how well it stands up to water pressure), and 5,000 g/m²/24h indicates its breathability (how much water vapor can pass through it).
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is designed to last through normal wear and washing cycles. However, its effectiveness can diminish over time. Reapplying a DWR treatment can restore its performance.
What is the purpose of the carry loop?
The carry loop is attached to the packed jacket, allowing it to be easily clipped onto a backpack, belt loop, or hung up for convenient transport and storage when not being worn.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully water-repellent.
Ensure the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish has not worn off due to excessive washing or wear. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear if necessary, following product instructions.
Jacket does not pack into its pocket easily.
Ensure the jacket is laid flat and smooth before folding it into the designated pocket. Make sure all excess air is pressed out.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to pull the fabric away. If it persists, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent properties. Tumble dry on low heat if the care label allows, which can help restore some softness.
