FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Karrimor Performance Running Jacket features a water-resistant DWR treatment, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What type of material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, which offers durability, quick-drying properties, and breathability.
How should I wash this jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash at a moderate temperature (30-40°C) with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Does the jacket have pockets?
Yes, the jacket features two practical pockets for convenient storage of small items.
Who is this jacket designed for?

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The funnel neck provides extra warmth, making it suitable for cooler conditions. For very cold weather, consider layering additional warm clothing underneath.
What does the DWR treatment do?
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 you dry in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Check that you are not overheating due to excessive layering underneath.
Pilling or wear on the fabric
Reduce friction during washing by washing with similar items and avoiding abrasive materials. Ensure proper drying methods are used.
