FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and mist, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged storms.

Can I wear this in winter?

Yes, it works well as an outer shell over a thermal base layer, though it provides little insulation on its own.

Does the hood have an adjustment mechanism?

Yes, it features an adjustable hood design to provide a secure fit during movement.

Is the fabric noisy when running?

The ripstop material is designed to be quiet and lightweight, minimizing the rustling sound typical of traditional windbreakers.

Where should I store my keys?

Use the secure zip chest pocket to keep keys or small items safe and bounce-free.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors, avoid fabric softeners, and hang to dry.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric

The water-repellent coating may be wearing off after repeated use; consider applying a technical fabric wash or re-waterproofing spray compatible with ripstop materials.

Difficulty packing the jacket into the chest pocket

Ensure all internal air is pushed out while folding and start by tucking the main body into the pocket opening slowly to avoid stressing the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry
  • Water-repellent fabric handles light rain with ease
  • Highly packable for on-the-go storage
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating
  • Secure chest pocket keeps items safe during movement

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent properties of the UA Storm finish, wash the jacket in cold water with like colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the coating. Hang the jacket to air dry for the best results, as high heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic components and the specialized finish. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packable pocket to prevent odors. This jacket is compatible with standard athletic base layers and mid-layers, fitting true to size as a standard outer shell.
