Product Information
Full details
The Sealskinz Eaton Running Jacket is designed for adult male runners seeking a lightweight, water-repellent outer layer that remains breathable during intense activity. Its key benefit is the combination of weather protection and ventilation, allowing perspiration to escape. A potential caveat is its minimalist design, which may lack extensive pocketing for some users. This jacket offers a technical reimagining of a classic running jacket, featuring a nylon fabric blend that is both water-repellent and highly breathable, and it conveniently self-packs into its own chest pocket.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and spray, but it is not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy downpours.
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for cool to mild conditions with light rain or wind, where breathability is paramount to avoid overheating during activity.
How do I pack the jacket into its pouch?
Turn the jacket inside out and locate the pouch within the front chest pocket. Fold the jacket and stuff it into the pouch, then close the pocket.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
While it offers wind resistance, it is very lightweight and does not provide significant insulation. It's best used as an outer shell over warm layers in colder temperatures.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is constructed from a breathable nylon fabric blend.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Reapply DWR treatment as needed.
What if I need a different size?
Please refer to the product listing for available sizes. This guide focuses on the Sealskinz Eaton - Black - S, but other sizes may be available.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is not over-layered. The breathability is designed to work best with moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the fabric is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help.
Jacket does not pack easily.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it into its internal pouch. Smooth out wrinkles to allow it to fold neatly.
