No, this jacket is designed for warmth and is not waterproof. It should be worn as part of a layering system with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions to provide protection from rain and moisture.

Yes, in dry and mild to cool conditions, it functions well as an outer layer. However, for colder, windy, or wet weather, it is best utilized as a mid-layer under a protective outer shell for optimal performance and comfort.

It is suitable for a wide range of activities where lightweight warmth is desired, such as hiking, walking, camping, casual wear, and general outdoor recreation in cool, dry conditions.

Info needed: Refer to the Karrimor sizing chart for accurate measurements. Generally, consider your typical jacket size and allow for comfortable layering underneath if desired.

Microfleece is a very fine, lightweight fleece fabric made from polyester. It's known for its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, softness, and breathability, making it ideal for mid-layers.

While fleece offers some protection, this jacket is not specifically windproof. In windy conditions, we recommend wearing a dedicated windproof outer shell over the fleece to prevent heat loss and ensure comfort.

Lint and dirt can compress the fleece fibers, reducing their insulating loft. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions to restore its warmth. Ensure it's thoroughly dry.

Pilling is common with fleece over time. To reduce it, wash the jacket inside out. For existing pills, gently remove them with a fabric shaver or a lint roller designed for pilling.

Polyester can sometimes trap odors. Try washing with a sports-specific detergent or adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

Static cling can occur with synthetic fabrics. Try air drying instead of tumble drying, or use dryer balls designed to reduce static without harsh chemicals.
