FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The ASICS Core Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light to moderate rain and drizzle. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Can I adjust the hood fit?
Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% Recycled Polyester.
Does the jacket have pockets for storage?
Yes, it features side zippered pockets for secure storage of essentials like keys and a phone.
How does the underarm mesh panel improve performance?
The underarm mesh panel is designed to enhance breathability in that area, helping to release heat and moisture during physical activity.
What is the purpose of the adjustable drawcord hem?
The adjustable drawcord hem allows you to cinch the bottom of the jacket for a closer fit, helping to keep out wind and retain warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively.
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a waterproofing spray suitable for synthetic fabrics or consider a professional re-treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-treatment.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper teeth are clean, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Jacket feels warm or less breathable during intense activity.
Ensure the jacket is unzipped for increased ventilation. Utilize the adjustable hood and hem drawcord to manage airflow. For very high-output activities in warm weather, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight or too loose.
The half-elasticated design offers a snug fit. If too tight, ensure no additional layers underneath are bunching up. If a looser fit is desired, gently stretch the elastic before wearing.
