FAQs

What does 10K waterproof mean?

A 10K waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water begins to penetrate. This indicates strong resistance to rain and wet conditions.

What does 10K breathable mean?

A 10K breathable rating means that 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. This allows internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping you comfortable.

Can the hood be removed?

The jacket features a `fold-away hood`, meaning it can be neatly stored in the collar when not in use, but it is not designed to be fully detached or removed from the jacket.

How should I wash this jacket?

It is `machine washable`. For best results and to maintain its properties, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical outdoor detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Always check the specific care label inside your jacket.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme winter conditions?

The Karrimor Urban Jacket is a protective shell. While it offers excellent waterproof and windproof properties, it does not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. For winter conditions, it should be paired with appropriate insulating layers underneath.

Does it have internal pockets?

The product description specifies `four zipped pockets` which are typically external. Internal pocket details are not provided.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket's shell is made from `100% Nylon`, and the lining is `100% Polyester`.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if the problem persists, treat it with a DWR re-proofing product.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the breathable membrane. Also, check your layering; wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. You can also apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to help them slide smoothly.

Hood doesn't stay securely in place.

While the description doesn't mention specific drawstrings for the hood, ensure it's fully deployed and positioned correctly. The fold-away design is intended for convenience rather than extreme secure fit in high winds. You may need to wear a hat underneath for added security.

Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.

This jacket is a shell designed for weather protection, not insulation. For warmth in colder conditions, wear appropriate insulating layers (e.g., fleece, down jacket) underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against rain and wind due to Weathertite technology and taped seams.
  • Comfortable to wear with enhanced breathability and mesh lining, reducing clamminess.
  • Versatile design with a fold-away hood, adapting to changing weather conditions.
  • Secure storage for valuables with four zipped pockets.
  • Durable 100% Nylon shell designed for longevity and performance.
  • Adjustable cuffs allow for a personalized and secure fit.

Cons

  • Not specifically insulated for extreme cold; designed as a protective shell requiring layering for warmth.
  • Requires adherence to specific care instructions (machine washable, keep away from fire) to maintain performance and safety.
  • Info needed: Specific details on weight or packability for travel.

Initial Setup

Your Karrimor Urban Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

  1. Unpack: Remove the jacket from its packaging.
  2. Adjust Fit: Use the `hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs` to achieve a secure fit around your wrists.
  3. Deploy Hood: If needed, unroll the `fold-away hood` from the collar and adjust as desired for head protection.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various base layers and mid-layers for warmth, such as fleeces or insulated jackets.
  • Gender/Age: Specifically designed for adult males. While fit is subjective, it may not be ideally suited for all body types.
  • Accessories: Works well with outdoor accessories like waterproof trousers, gloves, and hats for comprehensive weather protection.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time.

  1. Washing: The jacket is `machine washable`. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific temperature and cycle recommendations. Typically, use a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof garments, or a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jacket. Avoid high heat from tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Water Repellency: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the jacket's exterior may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider treating the jacket with a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
  4. Safety: Always keep the jacket away from fire and open flames, as the synthetic materials can melt or ignite.
