FAQs
What makes this jacket suitable for "any weather"?
The jacket features a 100% polytetrafluoroethylene material and a DWR finish, which provides protection against wind and precipitation, making it suitable for various weather conditions commonly encountered during runs.
How does the jacket help with staying cool?
It incorporates underarm ventilation to allow for airflow, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you cool and dry during intensive training sessions.
What does "made from at least 70% recycled materials" mean for the product?
This means that a significant portion of the fabric used in the jacket is derived from recycled sources, helping to reduce waste, conserve resources, and lower the environmental footprint of the product.
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket has a DWR finish and is designed to protect from the elements, indicating it is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, its lightweight, protective, and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor aerobic activities such as cycling or hiking in moderate conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket features a slim fit. It is recommended to consult the sizing chart and consider your typical layering preferences when selecting your size. The provided size is XL.
What is the benefit of the stand-up collar?
The stand-up collar provides additional protection for the neck area against wind and light rain, enhancing overall comfort during outdoor runs.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-repellent over time.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, and then use a DWR spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical apparel.
Underarm vents are not providing enough cooling.
Ensure the vents are not obstructed by other layers of clothing. For extreme conditions, consider layering with more breathable base layers.
Jacket feels clammy during intense runs.
While breathable, high-intensity efforts can still lead to sweat. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath and that the jacket's ventilation is clear.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate it.
