Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket - Black

The '3 in 1' design means the jacket consists of two separate components: an outer waterproof shell and an inner fleece jacket. These can be worn together for maximum warmth and protection, or each can be worn individually, giving you three different jacket configurations.

Yes, the inner fleece jacket is designed to be removable and can be worn independently for warmth in dry, cooler conditions.

The jacket features Weathertite Technology with a 10,000mm hydrostatic head (10K waterproof rating) and fully taped seams, making it highly waterproof and capable of withstanding significant rain.

Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, it is machine washable. Use a mild detergent or a specialized technical wash for waterproof garments, and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry the jacket and keep it away from direct heat or fire.

The hood is not explicitly removable, but it is concealable. You can roll it up and store it within the collar when it's not needed, offering a neater appearance and protection when stowed.

A 10K breathable rating means the fabric allows 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. This helps to manage moisture and prevent you from feeling sweaty during physical activity.

While highly waterproof and warm when combined, it's designed more for hiking, general outdoor use, and commuting. For extreme winter sports or very cold conditions, additional specialized layering or a jacket specifically designed for those activities might be more appropriate, though it provides excellent multi-season utility.

This often indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is worn. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof fabrics.

Ensure all vents (if any, though not explicitly mentioned for this model) are open. The 10K breathability allows moisture out, but heavy exertion can still overwhelm it. Consider removing the fleece layer or adjusting other layers to improve ventilation.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove dirt or debris. If needed, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth to improve glide.

Ensure both the elastic drawstring and any toggles are tightened appropriately. Check that the hood is fully deployed and positioned correctly over your head for maximum coverage and stability.
