FAQs

What does 'UA Storm technology' mean?

UA Storm technology is a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric that repels water and snow, helping you stay dry without sacrificing breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the UA Storm technology is designed for light rain. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How does the 4-way stretch benefit the wearer?

The 4-way stretch material allows the fabric to stretch and recover in multiple directions, providing greater freedom of movement and comfort during physical activities.

What is the main benefit of the recycled polyester?

Using recycled polyester reduces environmental impact by repurposing waste materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Can the reflective details be washed off?

When following proper care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low), the reflective details should remain intact. Avoid high heat or harsh chemicals.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is best suited for active outdoor activities like sports training, hiking, running, or casual wear in mild to cool weather with a chance of light rain.

Are the zip pockets waterproof?

The zip hand pockets are secure, but they are not advertised as fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but are not designed for submersion.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems reduced.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from detergents or fabric softeners that can impede water repellency. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary, following product instructions.

Jacket feels too cool for colder weather.

This jacket is designed for moderate conditions. For colder weather, layer it over warmer insulating clothing like a fleece or base layer.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a bit of wax can help.
