Nike Academy Pro 24 Hooded Rain Jacket - Black

The Nike Academy Pro 24 Hooded Rain Jacket is primarily designed for wind and rain resistance to keep you dry. While it offers some warmth due to its protective layers, it is not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold winter conditions, we recommend layering it over appropriate insulating garments.

Yes, you can. Please machine wash cold with like colors, and do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry low or hang dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and water-resistant properties. Close all zippers before washing.

The zippered pockets are designed to offer secure storage and provide good protection against rain, helping to keep your essentials dry in most wet conditions. However, for items requiring absolute dryness in heavy downpours, additional waterproof pouches are recommended.

Nike Storm-FIT technology is a specialized fabric system engineered to provide superior resistance against wind and water. It helps keep you comfortable, dry, and protected from the elements during harsh weather conditions.

The product description mentions a hooded design and fold-over binding on the sleeve hem to keep water out. Info needed: Specific adjustability features like drawcords on the hood or hook-and-loop closures on cuffs are not explicitly detailed in the provided information.

The jacket's construction from 100% recycled polyester materials means it helps reduce waste and lowers the environmental impact of its production. While this doesn't directly alter its functional performance, it reflects a commitment to sustainable practices in manufacturing.

While the 100% polyester fabric and standard fit offer a degree of breathability suitable for active use in varied conditions, the primary focus of Storm-FIT is wind and water resistance. For extremely high-intensity workouts, breathability might be a consideration, but it's designed to balance protection with comfort.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need reactivation or reapplication. First, try tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing, which can sometimes reactivate the existing DWR. If that doesn't work, consider using a DWR spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear (Info needed: Check Nike's specific recommendations).

Gently rub a graphite pencil along the teeth of the zipper on both sides. The graphite acts as a lubricant. Alternatively, a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied. Ensure there's no fabric caught in the zipper teeth.

Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing it. If an odor persists, wash the jacket according to care instructions. For stubborn odors, a sports-specific detergent designed to neutralize smells may be effective. Avoid leaving damp gear balled up in a bag.
