Product Information

Full details

The Nike Windrunner Hooded Repel Jacket is designed for kids who need protection from wet weather during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the water-repellent finish that helps keep them drier. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. This jacket features a water-repellent finish, an adjustable hood for added coverage, and zippered pockets for secure storage, making it a practical layering piece.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is designed to shed light rain and moisture. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and may not provide adequate protection during heavy or prolonged downpours.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?

It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can negatively impact the water-repellent coating on the fabric.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Nike for specific measurements. The description mentions it's a 'Big Kids' size L in this instance, so consider your child's current size and build.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket features zippered pockets, which help to keep essentials like keys or small items securely stored.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for protection from rain. For cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer clothing like sweatshirts or fleeces.

How often should I re-apply water repellency treatments?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Typically, re-application might be needed every few washes or when you notice water is no longer beading and shedding effectively.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish may naturally wear off over time. Consider using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment to restore its effectiveness. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Avoid excessive force.

Jacket appears faded.

Washing the jacket in cold water and avoiding direct sunlight during drying can help preserve color. If fading is significant, it may be due to normal wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Nike Windrunner Hooded Repel Jacket is designed as outerwear. It pairs well with various clothing items, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and pants, making it a versatile addition to a child's wardrobe.

Care Instructions: To maintain the water-repellent properties and the overall condition of the jacket, follow these washing instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and its treatment.
  4. Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider using a water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment designed for outerwear to refresh its performance, following the product's specific instructions.
