Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Blue

A '10k Waterproof' rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water per square inch before water starts to seep through. '10k Breathable' means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. Both indicate good performance for moderate rain and activity.

No, the hood is a foldaway design, meaning it is integrated into the collar and can be neatly stowed away when not in use, rather than being fully detachable.

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is ideal for everyday urban wear, commuting, and light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking on well-maintained trails, or general leisure where protection from rain and wind is needed.

Always refer to the specific care label inside the jacket for detailed washing instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a mild, non-detergent soap or a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

The shell of the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is 100% Nylon, providing its waterproof qualities, while the lining is 100% Polyester for added comfort and breathability.

Info needed: The product description does not specify the presence or type of pockets. Please refer to the product listing or physical examination for pocket details.

Ensure you are using appropriate layering underneath the jacket. Too many warm layers can overwhelm the jacket's breathability. Utilize the mesh lining and adjustable cuffs to improve ventilation by loosening the cuffs slightly.

This often indicates a reduction in the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. First, ensure the jacket is clean by following the care label instructions. Dirt and oils can compromise DWR. If the issue persists after cleaning, you may need to re-activate the DWR using a specialized DWR treatment product (check if suitable for nylon/polyester on the care label or product's instructions).

Check if the hood is fully unfolded and positioned correctly. Although not explicitly mentioned, many jackets with foldaway hoods include subtle elastic or drawstrings for adjustment. Experiment with these to find a more secure fit around your head. When stowed, ensure it is folded neatly to avoid discomfort around the collar.
