FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Nike Run Repel UV Windrunner is designed to provide lightweight protection from light rain and the sun's UV rays, with a focus on packability for easy transport during outdoor activities.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket can be folded and stowed away in its hidden inside pocket. A shoulder strap is also included for convenient carrying when not worn.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. It is not designed to be a fully waterproof jacket for heavy downpours.
What does UV protection mean in this context?
The fabric offers protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays for the areas of your body that are covered by the jacket. It does not provide 360-degree protection.
What is the origin of the chevron design?
The chevron design lines on the front are inspired by the original Nike Windrunner tracksuit jacket, which was first released in 1978.
What material is the jacket made of?
This specific variant is made from Nylon.
How can I ensure the best fit for running?
The jacket offers a performance fit. For running, ensure you can move freely. Layering with moisture-wicking base layers is recommended over bulky items for comfort and mobility.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to close or open
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the jacket using the recommended care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider using a technical fabric wash designed to restore water repellency.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Verify that you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for a performance fit, so consider layering with lighter base layers rather than bulky ones for optimal movement.
Ventilation feels insufficient
Ensure the back ventilation slit is not obstructed. For intense activity, consider wearing the jacket partially unzipped or unhooded if conditions allow.
