FAQs
Is the Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a 'water-repellent' design, meaning it's designed to shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not keep you completely dry in heavy or prolonged downpours.
Does this jacket provide warmth for cold weather running?
The Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket is a lightweight shell primarily designed for wind and water resistance. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over appropriate thermal base and mid-layers.
What does 'packable design' mean?
A 'packable design' means the jacket can be easily folded or stuffed into a compact size, often into one of its own pockets, making it very convenient to carry and store when not in use.
How should I wash my Nike Miler Repel Running Jacket?
Machine wash cold with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing. Tumble dry low or, ideally, hang dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and water-repellent properties.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify the presence or type of pockets. Please refer to the product's hang tag or a detailed product page from the manufacturer for this information.
What is recycled polyester?
Recycled polyester is a synthetic fiber made from recycled plastic bottles or other post-consumer plastic waste. It reduces reliance on virgin petroleum and decreases landfill waste, making it a more environmentally friendly material choice.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, the jacket's lightweight, water-repellent, and packable features make it suitable for other light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, or as a casual everyday layer, especially in mild, damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads up on the jacket fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activation or re-application. First, try washing the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can mask the DWR. If that doesn't work, consider applying a DWR spray specifically designed for technical outerwear.
Jacket feels stiff or crinkly after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh detergents. Air drying flat or on a hanger is recommended. High heat from tumble drying can sometimes alter the fabric's texture. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the water-repellent finish.
Difficulty packing the jacket into its designated pocket.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Practice folding it neatly, starting from the sleeves and working inwards, then rolling or folding it tightly into the pocket. Smooth out any air as you go. Look for specific folding instructions if available on the garment tag or manufacturer's website.
Jacket feels restrictive during running.
While designed for running, ensure you have the correct size. Over-layering excessively beneath the jacket can also lead to a restrictive feeling. Check your base layers for bulk. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size.
