Product Information
Full details
This Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket in Blue is designed for male runners seeking protection from wet weather. Its key benefit is water repellency combined with a packable design, all crafted from 100% recycled polyester. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof in heavy downpours. Key features include a protective hood, a design steeped in Nike's heritage, and sustainable material construction.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How do I pack this jacket?
The jacket is designed to be packable. Typically, there's a designated area or method to fold the jacket into itself, often starting from a sleeve or the hem, until it forms a compact bundle.
What material is the jacket made from?
This product is made with 100% recycled polyester fibers.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and best suited for mild or cool weather. It can be layered over a base layer for added warmth, but it is not insulated for extreme cold.
How do I clean the water-repellent coating?
Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents when washing. Gentle washing with mild detergent and air drying or low-heat tumble drying helps preserve the water-repellent finish.
Does the hood adjust?
The hood is designed to fit snugly. While it may not have explicit drawcords for adjustment on this specific model, its shape is intended to offer coverage during runs.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the jacket using a mild detergent without fabric softener. Consider using a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for athletic apparel after cleaning.
Zipper is sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels damp inside after exercise
This jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For high-intensity activities in heavy rain, consider a more robust waterproof jacket. Ensure you are not overheating; the jacket is designed for moderate temperatures.
