Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on as your outermost layer.
- Hood Deployment: To use the hood, unroll it from the collar (likely secured by a hook-and-loop tab or zipper) and adjust the drawstrings for a secure fit.
- Cuff Adjustment: Use the hook-and-loop fasteners on each cuff to tighten or loosen for comfort or to create a seal against wind and rain.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for compatibility with a range of activities and layering systems:
- Layering: Wear it over base layers, fleeces, or sweaters depending on temperature. Its regular fit accommodates comfortable layering.
- Activities: Ideal for daily commutes, city exploration, dog walking, light hiking, and general outdoor use in wet or windy conditions.
Care
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your waterproof jacket. Always refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions.
- Washing: Typically, waterproof jackets should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner (not standard detergent) at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C/86°F). Avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water stops beading on the fabric surface, consider re-applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics.
