Nike Elite Wolf Grey jersey in the rain?

Boom84 · Aug 17, 2015

Newbie here, and wanting to hear from anyone out there with a Nike Elite Wolf Grey alternate jersey, how does it hold up in the rain? Specifically does it stain / darken or is it highly water-repellant (as advertised) and resist the moisture?

Thanks!

The elites are very nice. I don't have a grey but I have a blue and a white. I would think that the white would be even more susceptible to the things you are concerned about. I've never had any of the problems you mentioned.

I have a Navy one as well (one of three) and apprehensive about how the Wolf Gray might or might not hold up in the rain. Obviously this would be a dealbreaker for gameday.

I've worn my #3 wolf grey jersey to plenty of games, in rain and all sorts of weather. Never had an issue. Holds up just fine.

Thanks Twisted, that's the validation I need and just completed the purchase of the Wolf Gray. Can't wait for it to arrive. GO 'HAWKS!

Is there something wrong with the Elite's that would make you think they wouldn't hold up?

I've got 2 authentics, a home Chancellor and an away Wilson, and it would never occur to me to worry about getting them wet ...

My concern was whether it absorbed the rain and stained / darkened or if the water bubbled up and rolled off. The product information indicates so: (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/s...-fan-football-jersey/pid-519253/pgid-10292731)

My Navy Elite jersey has had no issues, so just checking with other folks if the same is true with the Wolf Grey.

Spray it with waterproofer. It helps repel stains and water.

Will do, got a refill from REI before the NFL Championship game.

Your approach is much different than mine.

I mean, if I don't have beer spilled down the front, baby puke on the back of the shoulder and barbeque sauce smeared on a sleeve, I'm not doing it right.

Haha, I can do all that, but I'll pass on the puke.
