Karrimor Kids Sierra Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Black

A 10,000 mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure before it starts to leak. This is generally considered good for moderate rain and general outdoor use.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. While it offers some protection from the cold, it is lightweight and may require layering with warm clothing underneath for very cold winter conditions.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

It's recommended to re-proof the jacket every few washes, or when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofing product.

The mesh lining improves breathability by allowing air to circulate between the wearer and the waterproof fabric, helping to manage moisture and keep the child comfortable during physical activity.

The pockets have zippers for secure closure, which helps to protect the contents from light rain. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible waterproof.

This jacket is available in various kids' sizes. Please refer to the product sizing chart or available options for specific size details.

Ensure all seams and zippers are properly closed. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need replenishing. Follow the care instructions for re-proofing the garment.

This can indicate a lack of breathability. Ensure the mesh lining is not obstructed and that the garment is not overly layered underneath. Check care label instructions; sometimes, excessive detergent residue can impede breathability.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Check for any tears or holes in the fabric. Ensure all closures (hood, cuffs, zippers) are fastened securely. For fabric performance, follow care and re-proofing guidelines.
