FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Under Armour Hooded Jacket features UA Storm technology, which provides excellent water repellency for light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is a lightweight shell designed primarily for wind and water resistance. It offers limited insulation. For very cold weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal base and mid-layers.
What does 'fluorine-free water repellent treatment' mean?
It means the jacket's water-repellent properties are achieved without the use of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This is an environmentally conscious approach to DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings.
How do I ensure the reflective taping remains effective?
To maintain the effectiveness of the reflective taping, always wash the jacket inside out and avoid using harsh detergents, bleach (other than non-chlorine when needed), or excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the reflective material.
Why can't I use fabric softener?
Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the microscopic pores of the fabric, which can compromise both the jacket's breathability and its water-repellent capabilities. Always avoid softeners to maintain optimal performance.
Is this jacket suitable for intense physical activity?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable design, combined with wind and water resistance, makes it suitable for various intense physical activities like running, hiking, and outdoor training, especially in variable weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be decreasing over time.
Ensure you are washing the jacket correctly. Always zip it up, turn it inside out, and avoid using fabric softeners. Softeners can leave residues that hinder the DWR treatment. A gentle wash and tumble dry low can sometimes reactivate the DWR.
The jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.
This could be due to residue from fabric softeners or detergents. Re-wash the jacket using cold water and a mild detergent, ensuring no fabric softener is used, and tumble dry low. Ensure adequate ventilation during wear.
Zipper is stiff or snags frequently.
Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper. If not, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth of the zipper to help it glide smoothly. Make sure to keep the zipper clean from dirt and debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Your Under Armour Hooded Jacket requires no special setup. Simply put it on and adjust the hood and fit as desired for your activity.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed to be compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual wear. Its lightweight nature makes it an excellent layering piece over t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or even light fleeces, depending on the temperature.
Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket. Follow these steps meticulously:
- Preparation: Ensure the garment is zipped up completely and turned inside out before washing.
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. This helps preserve the fabric and the water-repellent treatment.
- Bleach: Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric and DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry low. High heat can damage the specialized materials.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners. Softeners can clog the pores of the fabric, compromising its breathability and water-repellent properties.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can melt or damage the synthetic fibers and reflective elements.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. The chemicals used in dry cleaning can strip away the water-repellent coating.
