Its lightweight, water-repellent fabric keeps you dry during light rain, while strategically placed mesh panels prevent overheating, though it is specifically optimized for light precipitation rather than heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to protect against light rain and drizzle, not heavy or prolonged downpours.
Does it have reflective features for night running?
Yes, it includes reflective detailing to help improve your visibility during low-light conditions.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, and allow it to hang dry.
Can I fit a phone in the pockets?
The side zip pockets are designed for secure storage of small personal items like keys or energy gels; depending on the size of your phone, it may fit, but check the pocket dimensions first.
What is the primary function of the underarm mesh?
The mesh provides enhanced ventilation, allowing heat to escape during physical exertion to keep you comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking through the fabric
The water-repellent coating may have worn off; consider using a specialized DWR re-application spray.
Zipper is sticking or catching
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is clear of debris; apply a light lubricant like graphite if necessary.
Visible dirt or mud on mesh panels
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to spot clean the mesh; avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Asics Icon Jacket in optimal condition, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent properties of the specialized fabric. Hang dry the jacket in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and reflective strips. Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed as an outer layer and fits well over performance base layers or short-sleeve running shirts. Ensure you check the sizing guide to confirm the specific fit for the size L variant to allow for a full range of motion.
