What activities is this jacket best suited for?

Can I wear this jacket in heavy downpours?

What material is the jacket made from?
The main fabric is 100% nylon 210T with a PU coating for waterproofing.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dry cleaning.
Does it have a removable hood?
No, the hood is fixed but features a cordlock toggle system and a concealed stud closure for adjustability and weather sealing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Check that all seams are intact and that the PU coating is not damaged. Ensure the stormflap and hood closures are properly secured. Re-evaluate care instructions and consider a DWR re-proofer if performance has diminished over time.
Hood is not fitting snugly
Tighten the cordlock toggle system on the hood. Ensure the concealed stud closure is fastened correctly.
Water is getting in at the cuffs
Ensure the elasticated cuffs are fitting snugly against the wrists. If they feel stretched, consider replacing the jacket.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use
Gently try to clear any debris from the zipper teeth. You can use a graphite pencil or a mild lubricant like beeswax on the teeth to improve smoothness.
