FAQs

What does the 10k/10k rating mean?

The 10k/10k rating refers to the jacket's hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and breathability. A 10,000mm rating indicates it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and a 10,000g rating means it allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, signifying good breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers 100% waterproof protection and is ideal for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure in extremely heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors, do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and iron.

Can I use this jacket for intense physical activity?

Yes, the jacket is designed with breathability in mind, making it suitable for activities like running and hiking. Pairing it with moisture-wicking base layers can further enhance comfort during strenuous exercise.

What is the benefit of the recycled polyester content?

Using recycled polyester in the main body fabric reduces reliance on virgin materials, conserves energy, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional polyester production, contributing to environmental sustainability.

How does the UA Storm technology work?

UA Storm is a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated while maintaining its breathability.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams, which are essential for ensuring 100% waterproofness by sealing any potential entry points for water.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a mild detergent (no fabric softener) and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the treatment. If the issue persists, consider applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for apparel.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil, wax, or a bit of clear lip balm. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the inner lining is not obstructed. Check that the garment is not overly saturated from external moisture. For active use, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
