ACT BioRip WindBreaker Beige

The ACT BioRip WindBreaker in Beige provides a high-performance and environmentally conscious solution for runners who need a reliable barrier against the elements without the bulk of traditional outerwear. This technical jacket addresses the need for portable weather protection by utilising 100% plant-based BioRip nylon derived from castor beans. Weighing only 115 grams, it functions as an essential featherweight shell that shields against wind and light rain, featuring a reinforced structure to ensure it survives the rigours of trail and road running.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This windbreaker features a streamlined performance fit to minimise wind resistance
• The adjustable hood and elasticated details ensure the jacket stays secure during high-intensity efforts
• The garment fits true to size for a tailored athletic silhouette
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, but if you intend to wear it over a heavy mid-layer, you may consider sizing up

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle to maintain the integrity of the plant-based nylon
• Use a mild, non-biological detergent to preserve the water-repellent properties
• Close all zips and adjusters before washing to prevent the ripstop fabric from catching
• Hang to dry naturally, which occurs very quickly due to the technical nature of the Bio_Rip fabric
• Do not tumble dry or use fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical finish

ACT BioRip WindBreaker - Our FAQs

1. How durable is a 115-gram jacket?
   While extremely light, the Bio_Rip construction features a reinforced grid that prevents small snags from turning into larger tears, making it surprisingly resilient for mountain use.

2. Is this jacket fully waterproof?
   The WindBreaker is highly water-repellent and windproof. It is designed to shed light rain and drizzle while maintaining maximum breathability, though it is not a fully taped waterproof for torrential downpours.

3. What are the benefits of castor bean nylon?
   Beyond being a renewable resource, castor bean nylon offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio and a more natural feel compared to standard synthetics, while significantly reducing CO2 emissions.

4. Does it pack down into its own pocket?
   Due to its ultra-lightweight nature, it can be easily scrunched down to the size of an orange, making it perfect for storing in a running belt or small pack.
