Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Hot Rock WeatherTite Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing storm-resistant, lightweight hiking protection with excellent waterproofing and breathability, thanks to its WeatherTite technology and taped seams. A potential caveat is that its functionality is primarily focused on weather protection, and may not offer significant insulation.

FAQs

What does the 10,000mm waterproof rating mean?

A 10,000mm rating indicates the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before it begins to leak. It signifies good protection against moderate to heavy rain.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter use?

This jacket is a waterproof shell, primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. It offers minimal insulation on its own. For winter use, you will need to layer warm mid-layers underneath, such as fleece or down jackets.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. However, it is crucial to follow the specific care label instructions, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners or bleach to preserve the fabric's performance.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

The need for re-proofing depends on usage and washing frequency. If water no longer beads up on the surface and seems to soak into the fabric, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.

What is WeatherTite technology?

WeatherTite is Karrimor's proprietary technology that creates a membrane balancing waterproofness with breathability, ensuring you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, this model is available in various colors, including Blue, Orange, and Black, in addition to Green.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels wet inside, but it's not raining.

This is likely due to internal condensation. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and that you are not overly layering, which can trap moisture. Check that the breathable membrane is not blocked by dirt.

Water is seeping through the seams.

The taped seams may be compromised. Inspect the seams for damage. If the jacket is old, the seam tape may have degraded. Consider re-taping or professional repair if possible. Ensure you are following care instructions to avoid damaging the tape.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specialized zipper wax) to the teeth.

Reduced water repellency (water no longer beads up on the surface).

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then consider applying a new DWR treatment, available from outdoor gear retailers. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any new treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This jacket is designed to be worn by adult males and is compatible with various types of outdoor clothing. It can be layered over t-shirts, fleeces, or lighter insulated jackets. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor pursuits.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Always follow the specific instructions on the care label attached to the garment.
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's membrane and coating.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically, especially after heavy use or washing, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore its water-repellency. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
