Initial Setup
Your Karrimor Urban Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
- Unpack: Remove the jacket from its packaging.
- Adjust Fit: Use the `hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs` to achieve a secure fit around your wrists.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket. Avoid high heat from tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
- 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.
- Safety: Always keep the jacket away from fire and open flames, as the synthetic materials can melt or ignite.
