Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Black - 10

This refers to the jacket's performance ratings. '10k Waterproof' means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before it leaks, offering good protection in rain. '10k Breathable' means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, helping to manage internal moisture.

A 10k waterproof rating provides reliable protection against moderate to heavy rain. For extreme, prolonged downpours, you might consider higher-rated jackets, but for typical urban and light outdoor conditions, it performs very well.

The shell of the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester.

Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach.

While it's breathable, it's primarily designed for urban and light outdoor use. For high-intensity activities like running, you might find a more specialized, lighter jacket with even higher breathability ratings more comfortable.

Info needed: Please consult the product listing or tags for details on pocket configuration, as it is not specified in the primary product description.

WeatherTite is Karrimor's proprietary technology designed to provide optimal waterproofing and breathability in their outdoor and urban apparel, ensuring comfort and protection from the elements.

This can happen over time as the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish wears off or if the jacket is dirty. First, wash the jacket according to the care label using a technical wash. If water still doesn't bead off, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment, available as a spray or wash-in product.

While the jacket is breathable (10k), excessive sweating can still occur during high-exertion activities or if you are overdressed underneath. Try adjusting your layers to lighter, moisture-wicking fabrics. Ensure the adjustable cuffs are not too tight to allow some airflow if comfortable.

Ensure the hood is folded flat and neatly before attempting to zip it into its compartment. Any bulk or uneven folding can prevent it from staying securely stowed. Smooth out the fabric before zipping.
