Is this jacket waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to move the zipper pull back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If resistance persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and drying on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers over time. Consider a tumble dry with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the fibers.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece over time. You can gently remove small pills with a fabric shaver or by carefully trimming them with small scissors.
