FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to protect you in light rain, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy storm conditions.
Does this jacket have pockets?
Yes, it features secure zippered pockets suitable for carrying small items like keys or energy gels.
How should I clean the reflective logo?
To protect the reflective properties, turn the jacket inside out before washing and avoid using bleach or heavy agitation.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed for a snug fit to provide coverage during movement; it does not feature a drawstring adjustment.
Can I wear this in the summer?
Yes, the integrated underarm mesh panels provide enough ventilation to make it comfortable even in milder, breezy summer temperatures.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
It is best to hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its ergonomic shape.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems less effective after several washes
Apply a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for athletic outerwear.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear of debris or folds, and occasionally lubricate the zipper track with a dry silicone lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Core Jacket, follow these care instructions. Machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the water-repellent coating. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the technical properties of the fabric. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources. Because the jacket is lightweight and packable, it is highly compatible with layered base garments during colder months, though it is designed to fit true to the XL sizing standard.
