Product Information
Full details
The Ronhill Core Jacket is designed for male runners seeking a lightweight, breathable, and protective mid-layer for unpredictable summer weather. Its key benefit is providing water and wind resistance without compromising on comfort or mobility, making it ideal for various running conditions. A potential caveat is that it offers light protection, not heavy waterproofing, making it best suited for showers rather than prolonged downpours. This jacket is a functional addition to any running wardrobe, featuring a secure pocket and reflective trims for enhanced visibility.

FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
No, the Ronhill Core Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain or showers for a limited time. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What is the best way to wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket. It is recommended to wash before first use and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede breathability and water resistance. Air drying is best.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
This jacket is designed as a mid-layer. While it offers wind resistance, it provides limited insulation. For cold weather, you would need to layer it over warmer base and mid-layers.
What does 'DWR C6' mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. C6 refers to the specific chemical formulation used, indicating a balance between water repellency and environmental considerations. This coating helps water bead off the fabric.
How do I reapply the DWR treatment?
You can purchase DWR reapplication sprays or washes. Follow the specific instructions on the product label for your chosen DWR treatment, typically involving cleaning the garment and then applying the treatment before a final air or low-heat tumble dry.
What size should I order?
The jacket has a relaxed fit. Please refer to the sizing chart provided by Ronhill for accurate measurements to determine the best fit for you.
Is the pocket large enough for a phone?
The secure pocket is designed for small essentials like keys, cards, or a gel. It may be too small for most modern smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy or too warm.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The jacket's breathability is optimized for moderate activity; for very high intensity, consider a lighter option or wearing it unzipped.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket. Check if the DWR coating needs reapplication for optimal performance against light moisture.
Zipper is stiff or catching.
Gently try to move the zipper. Clean any debris around the zipper teeth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil can help smooth operation.
Reflective trims are peeling.
Avoid high heat drying and direct ironing on the trims. If peeling occurs, attempt to gently reapply with a fabric adhesive if desired, or avoid harsh friction on the trims during washing and drying.
