Karrimor Sierra Waterproof Jacket - Black

No, the Karrimor Sierra is a lightweight waterproof shell designed primarily for rain protection and breathability. For extreme cold, it is recommended to wear it over appropriate insulating layers.

Info needed: Specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash cold with a technical fabric detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and hang dry. Refer to the garment's internal care label for precise instructions.

The Karrimor Sierra Waterproof Jacket features a 10,000mm waterproof rating, providing reliable protection against rain and wet conditions.

While lightweight and breathable, its 'regular fit' and design are generally more suited for activities like hiking, walking, and general outdoor use. For high-intensity trail running, some users might prefer jackets with more specialized features like extensive pit zips for maximum ventilation.

Weatherlite technology refers to the advanced fabric treatment and construction used in the jacket to ensure its durable waterproof resistant finish, keeping you dry and comfortable.

The jacket features two zipped pockets designed to offer secure storage and a degree of protection from moisture. For highly sensitive items in heavy, prolonged rain, additional waterproof pouches are recommended for ultimate peace of mind.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung up to help maintain its shape and fabric integrity. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

This could be due to perspiration build-up if you're very active. Ensure the mesh lining is not blocked and wear appropriate moisture-wicking layers underneath. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is compromised, water might 'wet out' the outer fabric, reducing breathability; consider re-applying DWR.

The DWR finish needs re-activating or re-applying. Wash the jacket according to care instructions (using a technical wash if possible), then either tumble dry on low heat (if recommended) or apply a suitable DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray or zipper wax) along the teeth and pull the slider back and forth a few times.

While the pockets are zipped, for highly sensitive electronics or items you absolutely cannot get wet in heavy downpours, consider using additional small dry bags or waterproof pouches inside the pockets for extra protection.
