Can this jacket be used in heavy rain or submersion?

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure all seams are intact and that the main zip is fully closed. The jacket's water-resistant finish may require reapplication if it has significantly degraded over time. Consult the care instructions for reapplying waterproofing treatments.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper track and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to ensure smooth operation. Ensure the easy-grip puller is properly aligned.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Verify that the jacket is fully zipped and that the hood and hem drawcords are tightened to prevent drafts. Ensure the internal lining is properly situated and not bunched up. Extreme cold may require additional base layers.
Reflective trim appears damaged.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or excessive heat during drying. If damaged, the reflective trim cannot typically be repaired and may affect visibility.
