Full details

The Under Armour Launch Lightweight Running Jacket is designed for active adults who need a dependable, weather-resistant outer layer that does not compromise on breathability. Its primary strength lies in its UA Storm technology and packable design, making it an ideal companion for unpredictable outdoor training sessions; however, runners should note that it is built for a lightweight feel and may not provide significant thermal insulation in sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features UA Storm technology which is water-resistant, meaning it repels rain effectively in light to moderate conditions, though it is not classified as fully waterproof.

How do I pack the jacket?

Simply invert the left chest pocket and stuff the jacket into it until the entire piece is contained, then secure the zipper.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It is designed as a lightweight outer layer. It works well as a wind-blocking shell over thermal base layers for winter running, but provides little insulation on its own.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure the windproof seal and adjustable brim function correctly.

Does it have reflective elements for night runs?

The jacket is designed with performance features, but always check for reflective branding specific to your purchased model if high visibility is a priority.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Clean the garment and consider reapplying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.

Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly water-resistant without sacrificing breathability
  • Compact and easily packable into a chest pocket
  • Windproof materials provide excellent element protection
  • Durable ripstop fabric resists tearing during active use
  • Thoughtful details like adjustable hood and secure zip storage

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy insulation in extreme cold
  • Lightweight construction means it is less effective as a standalone winter coat
  • Requires careful maintenance to preserve the water-repellent finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a true-to-size athletic fit. To maintain the effectiveness of the UA Storm water-repellent finish, wash the jacket in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the technical properties of the fabric. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the longevity of the ripstop material. Because of its packable nature, try not to keep the jacket compressed in its pocket for long periods when not in use to prevent deep creasing.
