Karrimor Sierra Hooded Jacket - Green - UK 18

No, the jacket features `Weatherlite technology` which provides a waterproof *resistant* finish. This means it offers excellent protection against light rain and drizzles but may not be fully impervious to heavy or prolonged downpours.

This jacket is ideal for a range of light to moderate outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, everyday errands, and general casual wear in changeable weather conditions. Its lightweight and breathable design makes it comfortable for active use.

Machine wash your jacket cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry the jacket completely by hanging it in a well-ventilated area; do not tumble dry or iron.

The product description mentions `two zipped pockets` for storage, but it does not specify any internal pockets. Based on the provided information, we can only confirm the external zipped pockets.

The Karrimor Sierra Hooded Jacket is made from a lightweight polyester fabrication and is designed to keep you cool and dry. While it offers weather protection, it's not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, it's best used as an outer shell over appropriate thermal base and mid-layers.

`Weatherlite technology` refers to the specific treatment or construction applied to the fabric to make it waterproof resistant. This typically involves a coating that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing it from soaking through the material.

Ensure you are layering appropriately. While the jacket is breathable, intense physical activity can overwhelm any fabric's ability to vent moisture. Consider opening the `full zip` slightly for increased ventilation, or adjusting your base layers.

The `Weatherlite` waterproof resistant finish can wear down over time or with improper washing. Try washing the jacket following the care instructions to remove dirt that may be inhibiting the water repellency. If the issue persists, you may consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel, after consulting the care label or manufacturer's recommendations.

Check if any fabric from the jacket's lining or your clothing is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully free any trapped material. If the zipper still feels stiff, you can apply a specialized zipper lubricant (like a silicone-based product) sparingly along the teeth.

Ensure nothing is obstructing the zipper path inside the pocket. Clear out any debris or small items. If the problem persists, a small amount of zipper lubricant can be applied to the pocket zippers as well.
