FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is water-resistant, designed to handle rain and wind during training sessions, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
Can I wear this jacket for sports other than football?
Yes, its lightweight, movement-friendly design makes it suitable for running, outdoor gym sessions, or general athletic use.
What size should I choose?
The jacket follows standard men's athletic sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for extra layering, consider sizing up.
Does it have pockets?
The design focuses on a streamlined silhouette, typically featuring minimal bulk to prioritize movement on the pitch.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and dry naturally. Periodic application of a DWR spray can help refresh the water-shedding performance.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric after prolonged use
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off; consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment recommended for synthetic athletic gear.
Jacket feels less breathable during high-intensity exercise
Ensure that layers underneath are moisture-wicking and not made of heavy cotton, which traps sweat inside the shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Core 18 Rain Jacket maintains its water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water to preserve the fabric integrity.
- Detergents: Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip away the specialized coating that provides moisture resistance.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the synthetic fibers.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed to fit comfortably over standard adult football apparel, such as jerseys or track tops. For best results, choose your standard athletic sizing for a performance fit, or size up if you intend to wear thick mid-layers underneath.
