FAQs
What is Storm-FIT ADV technology?
Storm-FIT ADV is Nike's advanced technology designed to provide windproof and waterproof protection while maintaining breathability, ensuring comfort in challenging weather conditions.
How do I pack the jacket into its internal pocket?
Locate the internal pocket, turn the jacket partially inside out, and begin stuffing the jacket into the pocket, working from the sleeves and body inwards until it is fully contained within the pocket.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Nike ACG 'Trailwind' Storm-FIT ADV Jacket is a shell layer and is not insulated. It is designed to be worn over other layers for warmth.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?
Yes, the jacket is made from ultra-lightweight nylon and features raglan sleeves for mobility. Its windproof and waterproof capabilities are beneficial for running in adverse weather, though its breathability should be considered for very strenuous activity.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a regular fit. The model in the description is 5'11" and wears a size medium, indicating it offers a standard fit rather than being overly tight or excessively loose.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the water-repellent finish. Consider reapplying DWR treatment periodically.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading off the jacket effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions, or wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-activate the DWR by tumbling on low heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is not excessively layered underneath for the current conditions. Check that the vents (if present) are open and that the jacket itself is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
Seams appear to be leaking water.
While the Storm-FIT ADV technology offers robust protection, extreme or prolonged saturation can test any garment. Ensure the jacket's DWR is active and consider a seam-sealing product for heavily stressed seams if leakage persists, though this is uncommon with proper care.
