Product Information
Full details
This Karrimor hooded jacket is designed for adults seeking a versatile, easy-to-wear outer layer for everyday activities. Its key benefit lies in its smooth, matte-finish fabric that offers protection against light rain and wind, making it suitable for travel and casual outings. A potential caveat is its water repellency, which is effective against light drizzle but not heavy downpours. Key features include a water-repellent coating, a full-zip front, two secure hand pockets, and an adjustable hood with a flexible brim wire for personalized fit and protection.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
This jacket features a water-repellent coating, which is effective against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed for heavy downpours and is best considered a water-resistant rather than waterproof garment.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning, and do not use fabric softeners.
What does the flexible brim wire on the hood do?
The flexible wire in the hood's brim allows you to easily shape and secure the visor. This helps to customize the fit and improve protection against wind and rain.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed for layering. It provides protection against wind and light rain but does not offer significant insulation on its own. For colder conditions, layering with warmer clothing underneath is recommended.
What is the finish of the fabric?
The jacket is made from smooth fabric with a unique matte finish.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features two secure hand pockets designed to hold your essentials safely.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing. Consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Hood is difficult to adjust or does not hold shape.
Gently bend and shape the flexible brim wire as needed. Ensure the wire itself is not damaged. Check for any obstructions in the hood channel.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
