FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket features a 'water-repellent' design, meaning it's built to shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not protect you in heavy downpours over extended periods.
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions with light rain, drizzle, or wind. Its primary function is to provide an outer layer of protection against light moisture and wind chill.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or line dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does the jacket have pockets?
The product description does not explicitly mention pockets. Please refer to product images or packaging for details on pocket availability and type.
What does 'packable design' mean?
A 'packable design' means the jacket can be easily folded or compressed into a small, compact size for convenient storage and transport. This is ideal for runners who may want to carry it with them and only wear it when needed.
What material is the jacket made from?
The Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fibers.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem to repel water as effectively anymore.
Over time and with use, the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating can wear off or become clogged with dirt and detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions (machine wash cold, mild detergent, no fabric softener). If the issue persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment designed for performance apparel, following the product's instructions.
The jacket feels too warm during a run.
While designed for weather protection, it's important to layer appropriately underneath. On milder days, a single base layer might suffice. If you're running in warmer, damp conditions, consider lighter running wear underneath. The jacket is an outer shell, so adjust your inner layers based on ambient temperature and activity level.
Difficulty packing the jacket into its compact form.
The packable design may require some practice to master. Start by laying the jacket flat, smooth it out, and then fold the sleeves inwards. Neatly fold the jacket in half or thirds, starting from the bottom hem, and roll it tightly towards the hood. Some designs utilize a dedicated pocket for storage; check if your jacket has one and reverse into it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties and extend its lifespan. Since it's made from 100% polyester:
- Machine Wash Cold: Use a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the water-repellent finish.
- Tumble Dry Low: Or line dry for best results. Excessive heat can degrade the fabric and its coating.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the polyester fibers and the water-repellent treatment.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Chemical solvents used in dry cleaning can harm the material.
Tip: If you notice the water repellency diminishing over time, consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) wash-in or spray-on treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
