Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Black

10k Waterproof means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetration. 10k Breathable means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. These ratings indicate strong resistance to rain and good ventilation.

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For warmth in winter conditions, we recommend wearing appropriate insulating layers underneath, as the jacket itself is not designed for significant thermal insulation.

Always check the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild, technical cleaner. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low or hang dry completely.

No, the hood is not removable, but it is a foldaway design. This means you can neatly roll and stow it into the collar when not in use, providing a cleaner look and protecting it from elements.

The shell of the jacket is made from 100% Nylon, providing durability and water resistance. The lining is 100% Polyester mesh, which aids in breathability and comfort.

Yes, the jacket typically features standard hand pockets for convenience. (Info needed: specific details on pocket types and count, e.g., 'two zippered hand pockets' or 'one internal chest pocket').

This usually indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is worn. Wash the jacket according to the care label, and then apply a DWR re-treatment product (spray or wash-in) specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Tumble drying on low heat after application can help reactivate some DWR treatments.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the breathable membrane. Wash it according to the care label with a technical cleaner. Also, check your layering; wearing non-breathable fabrics underneath can trap moisture.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth.

Wash the jacket inside out, following the care label. Consider using a technical wash designed to remove odors from performance apparel. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for lint or debris, which can reduce their grip. Clean them with a stiff brush. If the fasteners are heavily worn, their effectiveness may naturally decrease over time.
