Full details
This Karrimor Water Resistant Hooded Performance Running Jacket is designed for adult males seeking functional outerwear for active pursuits.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle for a limited time. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for running, cycling, hiking, and other outdoor activities where protection from wind and light moisture is needed, and lightweight comfort is a priority.
How should I wash the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label, typically using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
While it offers wind protection, it is a lightweight jacket and may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold temperatures. It is best layered over other insulating clothing.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics to make water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the wearer dry from light precipitation.
How do I reapply water repellency?
You can use specialized waterproofing sprays or washes available in outdoor or sporting goods stores. Follow the product instructions carefully for application.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider re-applying a waterproofing spray or wash, and ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Hood does not stay up securely
Ensure the hood is properly adjusted. Some jackets have drawcords; check if yours does and tighten them to secure the hood.
