Product Information
Full details
The Asics Icon Jacket is designed for adult male runners and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for transitional weather. It excels at providing protection against light rain and wind while maintaining high levels of breathability through its integrated mesh panels; however, it is specifically engineered for light precipitation and will not provide full waterproofing during heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to handle light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy rain or storms.
How should I clean the reflective elements?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleaches. Standard cold water washing is sufficient, and the reflective material will remain effective if cared for properly.
Does the jacket offer thermal protection?
It provides basic protection from wind, but it is not a thermal garment. It is best used as an outer shell over thermal base layers in cold weather.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure it stays in place during movement.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, ideally in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the fabric's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading
The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic technical apparel.
Jacket feels damp inside after a workout
Ensure you are not wearing the jacket over a non-wicking cotton layer. Pair with technical, moisture-wicking base layers to allow the mesh panels to manage sweat effectively.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent breathability due to underarm mesh panels
- Lightweight construction prevents restricted movement
- High-visibility reflective elements for night runs
- Adjustable features for a customizable fit
- Practical zip pockets for secure storage
Cons
- Not intended for heavy or prolonged rainfall
- Limited to a relaxed fit which may be too loose for some runners
- Minimal thermal insulation for extremely cold temperatures
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Icon Jacket, wash in cold water with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical water-repellent coating. Hang the jacket to air dry rather than using a tumble dryer, which can damage the synthetic fibers and reflective prints. For compatibility, the jacket's relaxed cut makes it ideal for wearing over standard running shirts or thermal base layers. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in your laundry.
