FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The jacket is designed for a fitted feel. Measure your chest and waist and compare to the Under Armour sizing chart. The fabric has stretch, but a snug fit is intended for optimal performance.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features UA Storm technology which repels water, making it ideal for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket might be more suitable.
Can I wear a fleece or hoodie underneath?
Due to its fitted design, it's best layered over thin base layers or performance shirts. Bulky mid-layers may restrict movement and compromise the jacket's fit and venting effectiveness.
How do I clean the jacket to preserve its water repellency?
Machine wash cold with like colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry low. Do not iron. These steps help maintain the integrity of the UA Storm treatment.
What is the benefit of the adjustable bungee on the hood?
The adjustable bungee allows you to cinch the hood for a secure, no-bounce fit, preventing it from shifting or obstructing your vision while you run, especially in windy conditions.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed for durability under normal use. Avoid excessive heat, direct ironing, or harsh abrasion, which can damage the reflective elements over time.
What does 'fluorine-free water repellent treatment' mean?
This refers to the environmentally conscious method used to make the fabric repel water. It avoids the use of certain fluorine-based chemicals, which are considered less eco-friendly.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical wash and consider reapplying a DWR spray following product instructions.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper while applying slight upward pressure. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Lubricating the zipper teeth with graphite (from a pencil) can help.
Poor airflow despite venting
Ensure the venting areas are not obstructed by your layers underneath. Check for lint or debris in the mesh vents.
Reflective details peeling or cracking
This can occur with excessive heat or harsh washing. Avoid high heat drying and ironing. If minor, it may not affect functionality, but significant damage may require replacement.
