Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Black

10k waterproofing means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water starts to penetrate, indicating good protection in heavy rain. 10k breathability means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, allowing perspiration to escape and keeping you comfortable.

No, the hood is not designed to be removable. It is a 'foldaway' hood, which means it can be neatly stored within the collar of the jacket when not in use and quickly deployed when needed.

Always follow the specific care label instructions inside your jacket. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, avoiding conventional detergents and fabric softeners.

WeatherTite is Karrimor's advanced technology integrated into the fabric, specifically engineered to provide both reliable waterproofing (10k) and effective breathability (10k), ensuring comfort and protection in wet and active conditions.

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket features a shell made from 100% Nylon for durability and weather resistance, and a lining made from 100% Polyester for comfort and ventilation.

The jacket provides excellent waterproof and breathable protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is designed to be worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers to provide warmth, as it does not inherently offer significant insulation on its own.

This can happen if the jacket's breathability is compromised or if you're layering too heavily. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can block pores. Utilize the adjustable cuffs to allow more airflow. Consider reducing inner layers if the weather is mild.

This is known as 'wet-out' and indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is losing effectiveness. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly cleaned according to the care label, as dirt and oils can inhibit DWR. While the product description doesn't specify DWR reapplication, maintaining cleanliness helps preserve existing water repellency.

Gently unfold the hood, ensuring no fabric from the jacket's collar or other components is snagged. When storing, fold it neatly into its designated collar compartment to prevent creasing that could make future deployment awkward.
