FAQs

What does 10k waterproofing and 10k breathability mean?

10k waterproofing means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetrates. 10k breathability means the fabric allows 10,000 grams of water vapor per square meter to pass through over 24 hours, keeping you dry from the inside out.

Is this jacket suitable for winter?

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket provides excellent rain and wind protection but is not insulated for warmth. For winter use, it's recommended to wear warm layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal base layer, to stay comfortable in colder temperatures.

How do I fold away the hood?

To fold away the hood, simply roll or fold it neatly and tuck it back into the collar compartment. Ensure it is flat to avoid bulk and for a comfortable fit around the neck.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions, typically advising a cold wash (30°C) with a technical outerwear detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.

What activities is this jacket best for?

This jacket is ideal for everyday urban wear, commuting, walking, light hiking, and other outdoor activities where reliable waterproof and breathable protection is needed without extreme insulation.

Does it come in other colors?

Yes, the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is available in various color families, including Blue, Green, Grey, and Black, allowing you to choose the best style for your preference.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need re-activating or reapplying. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if water still soaks in rather than beading up, apply a DWR restoration product.

Feeling clammy inside the jacket.

Ensure you are not overdressing underneath. The 10k breathability helps, but excessive layers can still trap moisture. Also, check that the mesh lining is clean and not obstructed. Adjusting the cuffs for more airflow can also help.

Zipper is stiff or sticky.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water. Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil. Avoid pulling forcefully.

Hood doesn't feel secure in wind.

Ensure the hood is fully extended and positioned correctly. While it's a foldaway design for convenience, it might offer less robust adjustment than a fixed, technical hood. Wearing a close-fitting cap underneath can provide extra stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing (10k) keeps you dry.
  • High breathability (10k) prevents overheating and discomfort.
  • Versatile foldaway hood for instant rain protection.
  • Adjustable cuffs and mesh lining for comfort and tailored fit.
  • Suitable for both urban commuting and light outdoor activities.
  • Durable material composition (Nylon shell, Polyester lining).

Cons

  • Not designed for extreme cold weather insulation, requiring layering.
  • May not be suitable for heavy-duty, prolonged wilderness expeditions compared to specialized technical shells.
  • Foldaway hood might offer less protection than a fixed, fully adjustable hood in very strong winds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The jacket requires minimal setup. Upon receiving, simply unpack and try on. The foldaway hood can be easily accessed from the collar; gently pull it out and adjust it for coverage. The hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs allow you to secure the fit around your wrists.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult male users and is compatible with urban and light outdoor environments. It pairs well with various layering systems depending on the temperature; wear a fleece underneath for warmth or a t-shirt for mild, rainy days. Its Blue color offers a classic look suitable for diverse wardrobes.

Care: To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket's performance, proper care is crucial. Always `follow the care label instructions` sewn into the garment. Typically, this will involve:

  1. Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear.
  2. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  3. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry.
  4. Do not iron or dry clean.
  5. Reactivating the DWR coating periodically with a specialized spray-on or wash-in product can help maintain water repellency.
