FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Ronhill Core Jacket?
The primary purpose is to serve as a lightweight, breathable mid-layer offering protection from wind and light rain, ideal for unpredictable weather during runs.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light showers due to its DWR coating, but it is not designed for heavy or prolonged rain.
How do I maintain the water-resistant properties?
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to refresh its water-repellent capabilities.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
It's designed as a mid-layer, so it can be worn over base layers in cool conditions. For colder weather, you would likely need to add a heavier insulated jacket over or under it.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester for both the body and contrast fabric.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat.
Is there a warranty for this jacket?
Information regarding warranty is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or Ronhill's official website for warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This can be due to insufficient breathability if you are sweating heavily. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath and consider opening the jacket slightly if possible for better ventilation.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Reflective trims are peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, try to gently iron over the affected area on a very low heat setting with a protective cloth, but significant damage may not be repairable.
