Product Information
Full details
The Asics Core Jacket is designed for adult male runners who require a lightweight, protective outer layer for outdoor training in unpredictable weather. It provides a key benefit of water repellency paired with high-breathability mesh panels, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable without overheating. The main caveat for this garment is that while it is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain or mist well, but is not designed for heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is recommended to hang dry the jacket to avoid damaging the specialized fabric treatments and reflective materials.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the jacket includes an integrated hood for extra protection during light rain.
Is the material stretchy?
The jacket uses an ergonomic design to allow for a full range of motion, though the fabric itself is lightweight and performance-oriented rather than high-stretch.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
This model follows standard adult sizing. Refer to the size guide for a comfortable fit that allows room for a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be failing.
Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating can wear off; applying a spray-on DWR treatment can help restore the jacket's ability to shed water.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Clean any debris or salt buildup from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Asics Core Jacket in optimal condition, always follow the care label instructions. It is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric. Hang dry the jacket in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the fibers and reflective elements. For best performance, wear the jacket over a moisture-wicking base layer to allow the mesh panels to properly manage sweat transfer.
