FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket is water-resistant (DWR C6), meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Ronhill Core Running Jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does DWR C6 mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. C6 indicates the level of performance for the water repellency treatment. C6 offers good water repellency and is generally considered more environmentally friendly than older C8 treatments.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its material and fleece-lined collar. It's best for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, you would need to layer significantly underneath it or opt for a more insulated jacket.
How do I maintain the water-resistant properties?
To maintain water resistance, avoid fabric softeners during washing. Periodically, you can reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product to refresh its performance.
What kind of fit does this jacket have?
The jacket features a relaxed fit, designed to allow for easy movement and the option to layer base or mid-layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after a run.
Ensure the jacket is fully zipped and the collar is not overly constricted. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability might be insufficient for very high-intensity efforts or extremely humid conditions. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath or using the jacket for less strenuous activities.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off over time. Consider washing the jacket and then applying a commercial DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product according to its instructions.
Reflective trim is peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat when drying and harsh chemicals or scrubbing directly on the trim. If minor damage occurs, it might affect visibility; consider reinforcing with fabric glue if the damage is small, but replacement might be necessary for significant wear.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can help.
