Product Information

Full details

The Under Armour Velociti Pro Cold Weather Jacket is designed for adult male runners seeking protection from the elements without compromising on performance. Its key benefit is the combination of water repellency and breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable during runs. A potential caveat is that while it offers warmth, it is not a heavy-duty winter coat and may require layering in extreme cold. This jacket features UA Storm technology, a lightweight yet durable woven fabric with a brushed fleece lining for warmth, a back vent for enhanced breathability, and a bungee-adjust hood for a secure, no-bounce fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

The jacket provides warmth due to its fleece lining and wind resistance, but it is primarily designed for cool to cold weather (roughly 40-60°F or 4-15°C). For extreme cold or snowy conditions, layering with heavier insulation underneath is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its water repellency?

Machine wash cold with like colors and use only non-chlorine bleach if necessary. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat.

What does 'UA Storm technology' do?

UA Storm technology is a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric. It repels water and prevents it from soaking into the material, helping to keep you dry in wet conditions while still allowing the fabric to breathe.

Can I wear a backpack over this jacket?

While the jacket is durable, wearing a heavy backpack constantly over it could potentially affect the fabric's performance and the water-repellent treatment over time. However, for occasional use, it should be fine.

Are the reflective details safe to wash frequently?

The reflective taping and details are designed for durability, but like most reflective elements on apparel, prolonged or harsh washing cycles may cause them to degrade over time. Following the care instructions carefully will help preserve them.

What is the purpose of the back vent?

The back vent is designed to increase airflow and ventilation. This helps to release excess heat and moisture generated during physical activity, improving overall comfort and preventing overheating.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

Ensure no fabric softener was used during the wash. You may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, following the product instructions for athletic apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth, then work the zipper back and forth.

Hood is not staying securely adjusted.

Ensure the bungee cord is properly threaded through its toggles. Try tightening the cord more firmly. Check for any debris that might be hindering the toggle's grip.
