Karrimor Waterproof Jacket - Green

This jacket is described as water-resistant, which means it is designed to protect against light rain and showers. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

The jacket is lightweight and primarily offers protection from rain and wind. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer garments like fleeces or jumpers.

You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

The longer length means the jacket extends further down your body than a standard jacket, typically covering the hips and upper thigh area for added coverage.

The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable. However, hoods generally provide coverage and protection.

It is ideal for everyday wear, such as commuting, traveling, and casual outdoor activities where light rain or wind protection is needed.

Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues that might be affecting the fabric. Consider applying a specific fabric re-waterproofer spray if the issue persists.

Ensure the jacket was fully dried after the last wash. Check for any signs of damage to the fabric or seams that might allow water ingress. This jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may penetrate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specific zipper lubricant to help it glide smoothly.
