Karrimor Sierra Insulated Waterproof Jacket - Black - M

The Karrimor Sierra jacket is designed to provide excellent warmth on cold days with its 500 fill power synthetic insulation. For extreme sub-zero conditions, effective layering with appropriate base and mid-layers beneath the jacket is highly recommended for optimal thermal performance.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help re-loft the insulation, or air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Always ensure it's completely dry before storage.

Fill power, for synthetic insulation, indicates its ability to trap air and provide warmth. A 500 fill power for synthetic materials signifies good thermal efficiency, offering effective warmth without excessive weight or bulk.

The jacket's outer shell is waterproof. The THERMOLITE® synthetic insulation is designed to retain a high percentage of its warmth even if it becomes damp, which is a key advantage over traditional down insulation that can clump and lose insulating power when wet.

While warm and waterproof, this jacket's primary design focuses on insulation and general weather protection rather than extreme breathability for high-output aerobic activities. For intense sports, you might prefer a jacket specifically engineered with advanced breathability features to manage sweat and heat build-up.

THERMOLITE® T-down EcoMade is an advanced synthetic insulation material made from 100% recycled PET bottles. It's engineered to mimic the loft and warmth of natural down while offering superior performance in wet conditions and being an environmentally conscious choice.

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Over time, insulation can compact. Washing according to care instructions and tumble drying with tennis balls can help redistribute and re-loft the synthetic fill.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product's instructions for application and curing.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If not, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
