Full details
This Karrimor Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable, flexible outer layer for active days and unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is the 4-way stretch-woven fabric offering unrestricted movement without spandex.

This jacket provides comfort, durability, and a modern sporty look, featuring an adjustable hood, full front zipper, and secure zippered pockets.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move it back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes lubricate the zipper.
Jacket feels less water-repellent
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and consider applying a specific re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the drawcord is properly threaded through the toggles. Ensure the toggles are fully tightened to secure the hood's position.
