Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Running Jacket is designed for adult runners who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer to maintain their training schedule regardless of shifting weather conditions. Its primary benefit is providing essential wind protection without the bulk of heavy outerwear, allowing for a natural range of motion during road runs, interval training, or race day warm-ups. One caveat to consider is that while the jacket excels at blocking wind and maintaining a performance-oriented fit, it is not primarily advertised as a waterproof garment, meaning heavy rainfall may eventually penetrate the fabric.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed to block wind and provide coverage, but it is not marketed as a fully waterproof garment for heavy rain.
Can I wear this for activities other than running?
Yes, while specifically cut for runners, the lightweight design makes it a great choice for other outdoor activities like hiking or walking where wind protection is needed.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying to preserve the life of the performance fabric.
What is the fit of this jacket?
It features a performance fit, meaning it is cut close to the body to ensure it does not flap or catch the wind while you are moving.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester construction is lightweight and designed to allow heat to escape during activity, preventing you from feeling trapped in sweat.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels slightly damp inside after a long, intense run
This is often due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing a high-quality moisture-wicking base layer to help transport sweat away from the body.
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Lightly mist the fabric with water and hang it up; the synthetic polyester material will typically smooth out naturally without the need for ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance Running Jacket remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the jacket is made from performance polyester, it is recommended to machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the performance fibers of the fabric.
For drying, air-drying is the best practice to maintain the integrity of the material and the shape of the jacket. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting. Because the jacket is designed for an athletic fit, check that your preferred layering base does not create excessive friction or bulk underneath the jacket, as this may compromise the freedom of movement it is designed to provide.
