Product Information
Full details
The Asics Fujitrail Packable Jacket is a specialized piece of technical outerwear designed for trail runners who need reliable protection against wind and rain without sacrificing mobility. Its primary strength lies in its ultralight, packable construction, allowing athletes to shed layers quickly as conditions change during long runs. While it excels in breathability, users should note that as a lightweight wind and rain shell, it is intended for moisture resistance rather than heavy-duty waterproof protection in extreme storms.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It is designed as a wind and light rain shell, providing resistance against moisture, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain jacket meant for heavy precipitation.
Can I wear a hydration vest under the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features an expandable rear panel specifically designed to allow for a comfortable fit over a running pack.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket is designed to fold into its own integrated storage pocket. Look for the pocket designated for packability and invert it to stow the garment.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Will the reflective details fade?
The reflective elements are durable, but to maximize their lifespan, wash the jacket inside out and avoid high-heat tumble drying.
What is the fit like?
It features an athletic, performance-oriented fit. If you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy clothes underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after a long run
This is often a sign of high sweat output exceeding the ventilation rate; ensure the front zipper is adjusted to allow more airflow during intense physical exertion.
Zipper is catching or difficult to move
Check for debris or stray threads near the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught; a light application of a silicone-based zipper lubricant can also help.
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; tumble dry on a low setting or apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore the water-beading properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Fujitrail jacket, always shake off loose dirt after use. When cleaning, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a technical fabric detergent to preserve the integrity of the weather-resistant coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce breathability. To pack the jacket, invert the dedicated storage pocket and fold the garment inside; ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in its packed state to prevent odors or material degradation. The jacket is compatible with most standard trail running vests worn underneath.
