Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Blue

10k Waterproof (or 10,000mm) refers to the jacket's ability to withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure before water starts to penetrate the fabric. This indicates good resistance to moderate to heavy rain and snow.

10k Breathable (or 10,000g/m²/24h) measures how much water vapor (perspiration) can pass through one square meter of fabric in 24 hours. A 10k rating means the jacket offers good breathability, allowing moisture from your body to escape, keeping you comfortable during activity.

Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, avoiding conventional detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting.

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell designed to protect you from rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation. For warmth in winter, you will need to layer appropriate insulating garments underneath it.

No, the hood is not designed to be detachable. It is a 'foldaway' hood, meaning it can be neatly rolled up and secured into the jacket's collar when not in use, but it cannot be fully removed.

This jacket is ideal for urban wear, daily commuting, dog walking, and light to moderate outdoor activities such as hiking or trekking where you need reliable protection from rain and wind without excessive bulk.

The shell of the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% Nylon, providing durability and water resistance. The lining is 100% Polyester mesh, which aids in ventilation and comfort.

This could be due to condensation from sweat (lack of breathability) or diminished DWR (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer fabric. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers that wick moisture. If water is soaking into the outer fabric, consider re-applying a DWR treatment.

Check if the DWR finish is still effective (water should bead up and roll off). If not, clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions and apply a new DWR treatment. Also, inspect seams for any damage or separation.

Ensure it is folded correctly and completely before securing it. The jacket's design relies on proper folding to keep the hood compact and out of sight. Practice folding it a few times to get the knack.

Adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs to achieve your desired fit. They are designed for easy customization to accommodate gloves or different arm sizes.

This can happen if too much detergent was used or not properly rinsed. Rewash the jacket using a technical wash and ensure an extra rinse cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on very low heat.
