FAQs

What does '10k waterproofing' mean?

10k waterproofing signifies that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetrates. This indicates strong resistance to rain and wet conditions.

What does '10k breathability' mean?

10k breathability means that 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric in 24 hours. This allows perspiration to escape, helping to keep you comfortable and dry from the inside.

How should I clean my Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket?

Always refer to the specific wash and care instructions on the jacket's internal care label. Typically, waterproof garments require gentle washing with specific technical cleaners to preserve their waterproof and breathable properties.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

The Karrimor Urban Jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell designed for protection against rain and wind. It does not offer significant insulation for extreme cold; layering with appropriate warm garments is recommended for winter use.

How do I use the foldaway hood?

The hood is conveniently stored in a pocket within the collar. Simply unfurl it when you need head protection from rain and fold it back into the collar when not in use.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket's shell is made from 100% Nylon, providing durability and water resistance. The lining is 100% Polyester mesh for breathability and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof, water is soaking in.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. Follow care label instructions for washing, often a gentle tumble dry can reactivate DWR. If not, consider using a DWR re-treatment spray.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside despite breathability.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. Non-breathable layers underneath can trap perspiration. Also, verify that the mesh lining is clean and free from obstructions.

Sleeve cuffs don't hold securely or adjust properly.

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for dirt, lint, or debris. Clean them gently with a brush to restore their grip. Ensure they are aligned correctly when fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Karrimor Urban Jacket is straightforward:

  1. Wear the jacket: Put it on as you would any other jacket.
  2. Adjust Cuffs: Secure the hook-and-loop fasteners on the sleeve cuffs to achieve a comfortable, snug fit, preventing water and wind entry.
  3. Deploy/Stow Hood: If rain is expected, unfurl the hood from its storage pocket in the collar. Adjust any toggles or drawstrings for a better fit around your head. When no longer needed, fold it back neatly into the collar.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for adult men and is compatible with various layering systems. For colder conditions, wear insulating mid-layers underneath. Its design is suitable for layering over everyday clothes or lighter technical base layers.

Care

To maintain the optimal performance and longevity of your Karrimor Urban Jacket, always follow the specific wash and care instructions located on the internal care label. Proper care is crucial for preserving the WeatherTite technology's waterproofing and breathability. Generally, this involves washing with a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof garments and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
