Product Information

Full details

The Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket in Orange is designed for male runners seeking protection from wet weather. Its key benefit is its water-repellent fabric and hood, keeping you dry during runs. A potential caveat is its focus on weather resistance, which might make it less breathable for very high-intensity, dry-weather runs. This jacket is constructed from 100% recycled polyester and features a packable design with a nod to Nike's heritage.

FAQs

What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?

Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration. Water will bead up and roll off the surface, keeping you dry in light to moderate rain. It is not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy rain might eventually seep through.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it's best used as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleece or a thermal base layer.

How do I pack this jacket?

The jacket is designed to be packable. You can fold it into its own pocket or a small pouch for convenient storage and transport when not in use.

What is the main advantage of using recycled polyester?

Using recycled polyester reduces waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new materials. It allows for the creation of durable and functional apparel while repurposing existing resources.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than running?

While optimized for running, its water-repellent features and lightweight design make it suitable for other outdoor activities like walking or hiking in mild, wet conditions.

How often should I reapply a water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. If you notice water no longer beads up effectively, it's a good time to consider reapplying a DWR treatment, typically after many washes or prolonged use.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can degrade over time. Try re-applying a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

This jacket is designed for weather resistance. For very high-intensity workouts in dry conditions, consider a more breathable running top. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers for the conditions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) rubbed on the teeth can sometimes help.
