FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The Under Armour Storm Run Hooded Jacket features `Storm Technology` and a `water-resistant finish`, meaning it's highly effective at repelling water and keeping you dry in harsh, windy, and rainy conditions. While not 100% waterproof like a heavy rain shell designed for continuous downpours, it offers excellent protection for most outdoor activities in wet weather.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily a protective shell layer and provides minimal insulation on its own. For cold weather, we strongly recommend layering it over appropriate base layers and mid-layers for warmth and thermal regulation.

How does the reflective taping work?

The `reflective taping` is designed with specialized material that reflects light back to its source, such as car headlights or streetlights. This significantly increases your visibility to others in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or nighttime, enhancing your safety.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from `Polyester`, which contributes to its lightweight feel, durability, and quick-drying properties, making it ideal for active outdoor use.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood provides essential coverage against the elements. Info needed: Specific adjustment mechanisms like drawcords or toggles that allow for a custom fit.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash this jacket. Please refer to the 'Care' section in this guide or the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions. It's crucial to follow these to maintain its water-resistant properties.

What does 'Storm Technology' mean?

Under Armour's `Storm Technology` is a proprietary water-repellent finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface. This keeps you dry without compromising the fabric's breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems less water-resistant over time.

Ensure proper care by washing according to instructions, specifically avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the water-repellent finish. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for technical fabrics can help restore performance.

Reflective elements appear dull or less visible.

Gently wipe reflective areas with a clean, damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, dust, or grime that might be obscuring their visibility. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) or rub a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water and wind resistance for outdoor protection.
  • Enhanced safety features with reflective taping for low-light visibility.
  • Lightweight and comfortable, ideal for active use.
  • Durable polyester construction built for repeated wear.
  • Versatile for various outdoor adventures in unpredictable weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Under Armour Storm Run Hooded Jacket is straightforward:

  1. Simply put on the jacket over your desired base or mid-layers, depending on the temperature and activity level.
  2. Adjust the hood as needed for coverage. While general coverage is provided, specific adjustment features like drawcords may vary.
  3. Ensure all zippers are fully closed for maximum protection against wind and rain.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed to be compatible with athletic wear and outdoor gear. Pair it with moisture-wicking base layers for optimal comfort during high-exertion activities. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for packing when weather conditions are unpredictable, easily stowing in a backpack or duffel bag.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's `Storm Technology` and `water-resistant finish`, follow these care instructions carefully:

  • Machine wash cold with like colors.
  • Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-resistant treatment and fabric integrity.
  • Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the material.
  • Do not iron or dry clean. Ironing can damage the water-resistant coating, and dry cleaning chemicals may be too harsh for the fabric.
