Product Information

Full details

The Oakley Edge Force Windbreaker is designed for adult males engaging in running and active training. Its key benefit is offering reliable protection against variable weather conditions, particularly wind and light rain, thanks to its DWR finish. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which might not suit those preferring an extremely snug or oversized silhouette. This windbreaker features a double-layer nylon construction, a three-piece hood, side zip pockets, and elasticated trims for a secure fit, making it a practical choice for outdoor athletic activities.

FAQs

What type of weather is this windbreaker best suited for?

The Oakley Edge Force Windbreaker is ideal for protection against wind and light rain or drizzle. It is designed for variable weather conditions encountered during running and active training.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the windbreaker features a three-piece hood with an invisible elasticated trim that provides a snug and adjustable fit around the head.

Can I store my phone or keys in the pockets?

Yes, the windbreaker has two invisible zip hand pockets, which are suitable for securely storing small essentials like keys, cards, or a phone.

What material is the windbreaker made from?

The windbreaker is primarily constructed from 100% Polyamide (Nylon) with a double-layer construction.

How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners during washing and tumble dry on low heat. Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to restore its performance.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

This windbreaker provides wind and water resistance but offers minimal insulation. It is best suited as an outer layer over warmer clothing in colder conditions, rather than a standalone insulator.

How does the fit run?

The windbreaker is cut to a regular fit, designed to allow for comfortable movement during athletic activities without being too tight or too loose.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Water is no longer repelling effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Wash the garment according to care instructions (without fabric softener) and tumble dry on low heat, as heat can reactivate some DWR treatments. If performance doesn't improve, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray or wash specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Garment feels clammy during intense activity.

While the windbreaker offers wind resistance and water repellency, it is not fully breathable like a dedicated running jacket. For high-intensity activities, consider wearing it unzipped or layered over moisture-wicking base layers to manage sweat.

Reflective logos appear to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying and direct ironing on the logos. If minor peeling occurs, do not force it. Continue to follow care instructions. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, but often it's best to avoid the cause of damage (heat/friction).

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the water-repellent treatment.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, use a cool iron setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or reflective logos.
  5. Re-Waterproofing: For best results, consider reapplying a DWR finish periodically, following the product's instructions, especially if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
