FAQs
What makes UA Storm technology effective?
UA Storm technology is a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing it from soaking into the material while still allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features UA Storm technology, which makes it water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or drizzle. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What does '4-way stretch' mean?
4-way stretch means the fabric can be stretched in four directions: lengthwise and crosswise. This allows for a greater range of motion and flexibility during physical activity.
How much recycled polyester is in the jacket?
The main body fabric contains at least 80% recycled polyester, excluding trims and embellishments.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and designed for protection against weather elements like rain. It is best suited as an outer layer or a mid-layer in colder conditions, rather than a standalone insulated winter coat.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Refer to the Under Armour size chart for junior apparel, paying attention to chest and sleeve measurements. Consider trying the jacket on if possible, as fit preferences can vary.
Are the reflective details durable?
The reflective details are designed for durability under normal wear and proper care. Avoid high heat and direct ironing on these areas to maintain their effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
Ensure the care instructions (especially regarding detergents and fabric softeners) have been followed. Over time, water repellency can diminish; consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for athletic wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a pencil graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Jacket feels restrictive
Confirm the correct size has been selected. While designed for stretch, an improperly sized jacket can feel restrictive. Ensure the hood and cuffs are not overly tight.
Reflective details are peeling
Avoid high heat during drying and do not iron directly on the reflective areas. If peeling has started, refrain from further ironing or high-heat drying in that area.
