Under Armour Stretch Windbreaker - Grey

No, the Under Armour Stretch Woven Windbreaker Jacket features UA Storm technology, which provides excellent water resistance, repelling water without sacrificing breathability. It is designed to handle light rain and drizzles, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

This jacket is a lightweight windbreaker and offers minimal insulation. While it will protect you from wind, for cold weather, we recommend layering it over warmer base layers or fleeces to provide adequate warmth.

It's ideal for a wide range of activities including running, hiking, walking, cycling, and other outdoor sports where light protection from wind and water is needed. Its breathability also makes it suitable for higher-intensity workouts.

The jacket is made from lightweight stretch woven polyester fabric.

The product description specifies 'secure zip hand pockets.' There are no internal or chest pockets mentioned for this model.

Store the jacket by hanging it in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression, as this can affect the fabric's properties over time. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing.

UA Storm technology is Under Armour's proprietary water-repellent finish applied to fabrics. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from moisture while maintaining the fabric's breathability, which is crucial for active wear.

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low, no fabric softeners). Over time, DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings can wear off. Consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray designed for activewear.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a wax stick or silicone spray) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing it, as this can cause damage.

This jacket is designed for an athletic fit. If it feels restrictive or excessively baggy, cross-reference your measurements with Under Armour's sizing guide. Consider exchanging for a different size if necessary, especially if you plan to layer heavily underneath.

Use an athletic-specific detergent that helps break down sweat and odor-causing bacteria. Avoid using too much detergent, as residue can trap odors. Adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle can also help neutralize odors.

While ironing is not recommended, removing the jacket promptly from the dryer after the low-heat cycle and hanging it can minimize wrinkles. The stretch woven fabric should naturally resist significant wrinkling.
