Karrimor Water Resistant Hooded Long Sleeve Performance Running Jacket - Blue - S

No, the jacket is water-resistant with a DWR treatment, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture, but it is not designed to withstand heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe weather.

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry from light rain and moisture.

This jacket is lightweight and designed for performance. It offers wind resistance and some protection from the elements but provides minimal insulation. For colder conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer thermal base or mid-layers.

After cleaning and drying the jacket, you can reapply a DWR treatment spray. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you purchase to restore its water-repellent properties.

The jacket is designed for a performance fit. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for layering, consider ordering one size up. Refer to the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements.

The two pockets are convenient for essentials like keys and cards. While they may fit some smaller smartphones, their primary design is for smaller items to maintain a streamlined fit during activity. Larger phones might be a tight fit.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any trapped material. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

This can occur during intense exercise. Open the full zip for better ventilation. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath. While water-resistant, the jacket may not be as breathable as a fully waterproof jacket in very high-exertion scenarios.

The hood is designed for light protection. For stronger winds, ensure the jacket is zipped up fully to its highest point. Consider wearing a running cap under the hood for a more secure fit.
