Product Information
Full details
The Nike Repel UV Running Jacket Stride is designed for adult male runners who require a versatile, lightweight outer layer that transitions easily through unpredictable weather conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of water-repellent performance and UV protection in a highly packable design that stows into its own pocket. The main caveat is that as a minimalist, performance-focused shell, it does not provide heavy insulation, making it best suited for layering in cool or damp environments rather than extreme winter conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed light rain, but it will eventually soak through in heavy, sustained rainfall.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please use cold water and avoid fabric softeners to protect the technical coatings.
Does the jacket provide warmth?
It provides protection from wind and light rain, but it is not insulated. It is intended to be used as a shell over other layers.
How do I fold it into its pocket?
Locate the specific storage pocket designated on the jacket, then gently fold and invert the jacket into the pouch according to the internal tag instructions.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features an athletic, runner-specific fit. If you prefer a looser feel for layering, you may want to size up.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric during rain
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for synthetic running gear.
Fabric feels damp on the inside
This is likely due to perspiration trapped inside. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the water-repellent finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized coatings. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the packable functionality. For compatibility, the jacket works best when worn over Nike performance base layers, allowing the moisture-wicking properties of the base layer to work in tandem with the breathable shell of the jacket. When packing the jacket into its pocket, take care to fold it neatly rather than stuffing it aggressively to prevent premature creasing of the fabric.
