Karrimor Sierra Waterproof Jacket - Black

The Karrimor Sierra Jacket is designed to offer reliable waterproof performance for typical rainy conditions and country walks. For extreme, prolonged downpours, while it provides a strong barrier, layering and proper care are crucial for maximum protection.

The product description mentions a 'Hooded Neckline' but does not specify adjustability. Info needed: Please refer to the product's hang tags or website for details on hood adjustability features.

This jacket is a waterproof shell, providing protection from rain and wind. It does not offer significant insulation on its own. For cold weather, you will need to wear appropriate insulating layers (like fleece or thermal tops) underneath it.

To maintain waterproofing, always follow the care label instructions for washing, avoiding fabric softeners. Regularly cleaning the jacket helps prevent dirt from compromising the DWR coating. If water stops beading on the surface, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

The pockets are secured with zips, offering protection for your essentials from light rain and splashes. For sensitive electronic devices in heavy rain, it's always advisable to use an additional waterproof pouch inside the zipped pockets for extra security.

WeatherTite Technology is Karrimor's proprietary fabric technology designed to provide both waterproof protection and breathability. It creates a barrier against external moisture while allowing internal perspiration to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.

This often occurs due to dirt or improper washing. First, wash the jacket according to the care label, using a technical cleaner. If the issue persists, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need replenishing. Consider applying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof outdoor gear.

This is typically due to a build-up of condensation from your body's perspiration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your skin. Also, check if the jacket's breathability is compromised by dirt (wash as per care instructions). For intense activity, even breathable jackets can struggle to vent all moisture.

Dirt or debris can accumulate in zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a small brush or damp cloth. A silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers can also help restore smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
