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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
