optik404 - WOW. I've never seen that happen, at least not to that degree anyway.

The little specs missing, did that look bad to you initially(before this happened lol), was it something noticeable and/or did it take away from the reflectivity? That's what's keeping me from taking the plunge, I just hate that it's only in the UK & I can't see it in person myself. And I wouldn't wanna go through shipping it back to them if I didn't like it

When I first got it, I expected little imperfections. Read a review about it on nike.com and it mentioned this. The small ones arent noticeable and doesn't take away from the 3m reflecting. If you buy it, just don't ride a bike with it .

Oh no, thanks for the heads up, this is definitely terrible news for me, guess I'll just be rockin' the hat then when I ride.

yeah WTF!? has the durability I feared, can't really "put it to use" as I planned, gonna have to baby it, and I'm only gonna hand wash. Wait I forget is the silver waterproof like the new black one? I'm wondering if the waterproof layer on the black will make a difference durability wise.
:\ yeah seems so. np lol
glad to help; is and was a group effort for links and order/shipping related info but I'll take a little bit of the credit for getting the ball rolling for the black being sold on Sportshoes/Amazon. damn looks like sportsshoes is sold out of the womens silver now.

Sh*t Out of Luck because Nike doesn't make/sell these anymore and EyeSeeSoles is not sure what can be done to remedy this.

The rip is on the right side, the steam connecting the hood and torso is coming apart. Also for those who have the jacket the red trim around the hood and torso of the jacket came apart. It was glued on and now its just hanging. Nike said they will look at it and if it is indeed a defect they will send me a voucher. So i payed 200 and may be getting back 450.

you will get the 450 back. I got a jacket when they first came out, and i washed it once and it had all these weird spots on it. Luckily i waited a month and was able to get another one for $80

The Nike rep I talked to said this product is still "Active" but I doubt I'll get another one after this fiasco. Jacket is nice but in all honesty it isn't built well. Looks can be deceiving. Other brands provide a better jacket for less the cost. Like I said I used it to run. Washed it by hand. So idk wtf is up.

How does it work tho? Is it like a gift card? I'd only get this jacket again if I can get it with the voucher for the price you paid. And I'd only get it to STUNT this time. The attention this jacket gets is on another level. One dude stoped me during my run because he thought I was a runner in the US Olympic team

yes, it's a gift card- although you can ONLY use it on NDC.

Did you call or email Nike? Might have to do this with my spotty 21st cen windrunner.
thanks
edit: sorry, saw that you said you talked to a rep. thanks

Just filed a claim with Nike. A part of me wants the claim to be rejected cause I don't want to lose my 21st windrunner. I know I'll never get another one.
