Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for male runners seeking protection from wind and light rain during outdoor activities, from city streets to mountain trails. Its key benefit is its exceptionally lightweight and packable design, making it easy to carry. A potential consideration is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy downpours may require additional protection. It features wind and water resistance, a roll-away hood, reflective detailing, and a self-packable pocket.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and drizzle. For prolonged or heavy downpours, it may not provide sufficient protection, and a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and locate the pocket designed for packing. Start by folding the body of the jacket into the pocket, then fold the sleeves inward, and finally pull the pocket over the folded jacket. Use the hand strap for carrying.

What is the weight of the jacket?

This jacket is exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 97 grams.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is primarily designed for wind and light weather protection. For cold weather, it functions best as an outer shell layered over insulating clothing such as fleeces or thermal base layers.

What does PFAS-free mean?

PFAS-free means the fabric used in the jacket does not contain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, which are a group of man-made chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and health. This indicates a more sustainable and environmentally conscious manufacturing process.

How should I clean the jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. It's recommended to wash it on a cold or warm cycle with a mild detergent and to air dry it afterwards to maintain the fabric's performance and water-repellent properties.

What does 'relaxed fit' mean for this jacket?

A relaxed fit means the jacket is not tight-fitting; it offers a comfortable amount of room to move freely without being baggy. This allows for layering underneath and provides ease of movement during activities.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor gear. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment, as dirt can affect performance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's still stiff, you can apply a small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Hood is difficult to roll and secure.

Ensure the hood is completely dry and neatly folded before attempting to roll it. Check that the securing tab is not obstructed by any wrinkles or fabric. Gently smooth the fabric as you roll.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as this can damage reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, careful application of fabric glue might help, but significant damage may be irreparable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it, and it's ready for use. The roll-away hood can be unfurled or secured using its tab as needed.

Compatibility: Designed as outerwear for running and outdoor activities. It pairs well with base layers for cooler conditions or can be worn over a t-shirt in milder weather. Its relaxed fit allows for a range of motion, making it suitable for dynamic movements.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. Follow standard machine wash instructions, typically using a cold or warm cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent properties of the fabric.
  • Drying: It is recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the fabric's integrity and water-repellent finish. Tumble drying on a low setting may be possible, but check the care label. Do not iron.
  • Maintenance: Periodically, you may need to reapply a water-repellent treatment to maintain its performance, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Use a spray-on or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear.
