FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket features `UA Storm` technology, which is water-repellent. This means it repels water and keeps you dry in light rain or drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof in prolonged heavy downpours. It offers excellent protection for most common running conditions.

What kind of weather is this jacket best for?

This jacket is best suited for runs in cool, windy, or light rainy conditions. Its lightweight and breathable design makes it ideal for spring, autumn, or mild winter weather where you need protection from the elements without excessive warmth.

Can I layer clothes under this jacket?

Yes, you can layer light clothing under this jacket. It has a fitted, streamlined cut, so for heavier layers or a looser fit, you might consider sizing up from your usual size.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

To maintain the water repellency, follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with like colors, do not use fabric softeners, and tumble dry low. Avoiding fabric softeners is crucial as they can compromise the `UA Storm` treatment.

Are the pockets large enough for a phone?

The jacket features secure, zip hand pockets designed to hold essentials. Most standard smartphones should fit comfortably, but very large 'plus-sized' phones might be a snug fit depending on the phone model.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, offering a lightweight, durable, and breathable fabric suitable for active wear.

Does it have a hood that stays put while running?

Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable hood designed to provide protection from wind and rain while staying in place during your run, helping you stay focused on your route.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced over time.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can break down the `UA Storm` technology. Also, wash and tumble dry low as per care instructions; this process can sometimes reactivate the DWR finish.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive during movement.

The jacket features a fitted, streamlined cut. If it feels overly restrictive, consider trying a larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker layers underneath. Consult the size guide if available.

Reflective elements appear dull or less visible.

Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime that might be obscuring their reflective properties. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

Care Instructions

To maintain the performance and longevity of your Under Armour Launch Hooded Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
