Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Black - UK 12

Yes, with a 10k waterproof rating, the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is designed to offer reliable protection against moderate to heavy rain, keeping you dry.

Thanks to its 10k breathability and mesh lining, the jacket allows moisture vapor to escape, making it comfortable for active use in milder, rainy conditions. For warmer weather, ensure you layer lightly underneath.

Always refer to the care label inside the jacket. Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a specialized technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics. Avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach.

10k waterproof means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a day without leaking. 10k breathable means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. These ratings indicate good performance for general wet weather and active use.

No, the hood is designed to fold away neatly into the collar, providing adaptable protection without being fully detachable.

The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is primarily a waterproof and breathable shell. While it offers protection from wind and rain, it does not provide significant insulation. For colder weather, we recommend layering it over appropriate thermal wear.

The outer shell is 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester, chosen for their durability, water resistance, and breathability.

This could indicate reduced breathability or that the DWR coating is failing. Ensure you are not over-layering for the activity level, causing excess perspiration. Consider washing the jacket with a technical cleaner and potentially re-applying a DWR treatment.

Ensure the hood is folded completely flat before attempting to roll or tuck it into its designated space. Sometimes a quick iron (on a very low setting, checking care label) can help creases that prevent neat storage, but be cautious with heat and waterproof fabrics.

This is a sign that the jacket's Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket thoroughly and then apply a high-quality DWR reproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.

Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for lint or debris, which can reduce their grip. Clean them gently with a brush or tweezers. If the fasteners are worn, their effectiveness may decrease over time.
