Karrimor Water Resistant Hooded Long Sleeve Performance Running Jacket - Blue - M

No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle for a limited time. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

It is ideal for running, cycling, hiking, and other outdoor activities where protection from wind and light moisture is needed, and lightweight comfort is a priority.

The jacket is machine washable. Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label, typically using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.

While it offers wind protection, it is a lightweight jacket and may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold temperatures. It is best layered over other insulating clothing.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics to make water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the wearer dry from light precipitation.

You can use specialized waterproofing sprays or washes available in outdoor or sporting goods stores. Follow the product instructions carefully for application.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider re-applying a waterproofing spray or wash, and ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Ensure the hood is properly adjusted. Some jackets have drawcords; check if yours does and tighten them to secure the hood.
